APPLE BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL DESSERT SAUCE



Apple Bread Pudding with Caramel Dessert Sauce image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Nonstick cooking spray or butter, for greasing
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
9 large egg yolks
3 1/2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
1 loaf challah bread, cut or torn into 1-inch pieces (preferably stale)
Caramel Dessert Sauce, recipe follows
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and egg yolks and set aside.
  • Add the cubed apples, pecans and cubed bread to the prepared baking dish and toss to combine. Pour the custard over the bread and apple pieces. Carefully toss to coat, making sure that the cubed bread is submerged in the custard, and let stand to allow the bread to soak up the custard, 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove from the heat and slowly add the baking soda (it will foam up), followed by the vanilla and cinnamon. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve warm.

CARAMEL APPLE PUDDING



Caramel Apple Pudding image

Whipped cream desserts are a light and lovely affair, especially at the end of a big meal like Thanksgiving. Some people love crunch, but the particular joy of this pudding lies in its voluptuous softness, as it needs to sit in the fridge overnight for the layers to cohere: vanilla cookies, caramel-fried apples and salted cinnamon whipped cream. It's an airy fall dream in dessert form.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     parfaits and trifles, dessert

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large crisp sweet-tart apples (1 pound), such as Fuji or Pink Lady, unpeeled and finely chopped (see Tip)
1/4 cup lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
1/4 packed cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 cups very cold heavy whipping cream
1 packed tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafers

Steps:

  • Make the caramel apples: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the liquid is reduced but saucy with the consistency of chunky applesauce, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, make the whipped cream: In a large bowl, using a large whisk or an electric mixer, whisk the cream, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt until soft peaks form. (When you lift the whisk out of the bowl and turn it whisk-side up, a peak of cream should flop over onto itself.) Don't overbeat; you're looking for a soft-set whipped cream that drapes rather than plops.
  • Assemble the pudding: In a medium bowl or other serving vessel (preferably clear), arrange one-third of the vanilla wafers at the bottom, top with half of the caramel apples, then spread with half of the whipped cream. Repeat these layers once more and end with a final sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers on top. (If you want crunch, save this final sprinkle for right before serving.) Cover and refrigerate until the cookies are soft, about 8 hours and up to 24 hours.

Apple- Caramel Bread Pudding image

This recipe is from the www.rightathome.com website. "This melt-in-your-mouth bread pudding, laced with caramel and layered with apples, can be made with any type of day-old bread."

Provided by senseicheryl

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 1/2 quart dish, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup unsalted butter
6 apples (Golden Delicious, McIntosh or Winesap apples, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, peeled, halved and cor)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed, divided
1/2 cup dried cherries or 1/2 cup dried currant
4 cups brioche bread (cut or torn into 1 to 2 inch pieces) or 4 cups stale croissants (cut or torn into 1 to 2 inch pieces)
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
2 cups milk, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place the baking rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish (11 by 7 by 1 1/2 inches), or spray generously with cooking spray.
  • Cut the apples into 1/2-inch-thick slices. In a large bowl, mix together apples, lemon juice and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Melt the 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the apple mixture using a wooden or heat-resistant spatula and cook over same medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the apples are softened and begin to turn golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the walnuts or dried fruit and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • While the caramelized apple mixture is cooling, toast the bread on a baking sheet in the oven until crisp and the edges are just starting to color, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside on baking rack.
  • Once the caramelized apple mixture is slightly cooled, gently and evenly spread half into the buttered baking dish. Add the toasted bread to the remaining apples in the bowl and stir to combine; then spoon the mixture into the baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl combine the eggs, egg yolks, milk, remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar, vanilla and nutmeg and whisk until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Then pour evenly over the apple and bread mixture and let it sit for 10 minutes until the bread has absorbed the liquid.
  • Bake until puffed and browned on the top and the custard is set, about 45 to 55 minutes. Serve hot, warm or chilled.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp apples. This will give your bread pudding the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the bread cubes. They should be just slightly toasted, not dry and crumbly.
  • Use a good quality caramel sauce. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. It adds richness and flavor to the bread pudding.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This will make it even more delicious!

Conclusion:

Caramel apple bread pudding is a classic fall dessert that is always a hit with family and friends. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
