    Apple Raisin Bread Pudding

    Oct 7, 2015 · 21 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    Stale bread isn’t just for bread crumbs. This delightful bread pudding recipe is simple, warm, and deliciously comforting now that the cool weather has set in.

    Living the Gourmet: Apple Raisin Bread Pudding

    There’s a saying that there are those who walk in rain, and others who merely get wet, and then there’s another saying about how in New York there is neither Monday nor Saturday, only perpetual movement.

    Both of those came together in my overly damp portion of the Empire State this weekend, when Hurricane Joaquin’s track still ranged from West of the Carolinas to…everywhere else. You see, as the yet to be decided flood waters inched up my driveway, and the rain came in windy belts, what else was I to do but, well, bake?

    Living the Gourmet: Apple Raisin Bread Pudding

    I can’t really say why, but rain, among varied other things, makes me think of childhood, and this dish in particular has that effect. You see, growing up we always had old loaves of Italian bread left lying about the kitchen, a bit too hard to eat, and yet still too fresh to be thrown away. Either way it would be transformed into something delicious, thus, bread pudding.

    Need I be so blunt as to say it was a nostalgic bit of storm beneath our grey skies.

      They used to serve bread pudding at my grade school and I hated it. As an adult I won’t touch it. I’m sure it’s good, but I can’t get past that nasty stuff they served us in grade school. Hubby loves bread pudding.

      Have a fabulous day Catherine. Big hugs. ♥♥♥

      Dear Catherine,
      Very comforting for sure…this recipe looks so yummy. I can imagine the aroma in your kitchen surrounding this baked apple raisin bread pudding. I love to bake especially in the rain or when it snows. It just seems to be the perfect thing to do on these days, maybe like you I think back at when I was a young girl and my mom always baked on these types of days. Love your recipe of this sweet treat. I am partial to apples and definitely raisins. Thank you for sharing….Have a wonderful rest of the week…
      Dottie 🙂
