ENGLISH TOFFEE APPLE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
Just in time for autumn and Halloween - this delicious pudding is a real winner, with the subtle taste of toffee and apples all cooked together in a bread and butter pudding! I found this recipe in a cookery leaflet promoting English apples, and it is now one of our favourite puddings for the cooler months. I have given a variety of breads/yeast cakes to use; although I have made this with all of the choices on offer, my favourite still remains the brioche - I am sure croissants would work very well too.

ENGLISH TOFFEE APPLE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
If you must replace Muscovado sugar in a recipe which calls for it, use the most dark, coarse brown sugar you can find, and add some molasses to it to make it sticky and to enhance the flavor.

Steps:
- 1. Tear bread into 1" pieces. Place in a well greased crock pot or baking dish. Pour milk over the bread and let soak for 30 mins.
- 2. Stir in dried fruits, nuts and apple pieces.
- 3. Combine melted butter, brown sugar, egg and spices in a small bowl. Pour over the bread & fruit mixture. Stir to blend.
- 4. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours in the crock pot or 300 degrees for 2-3 hours. Just watch and check periodically.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the custard, such as a French baguette, sourdough, or brioche. Avoid using a bread that is too soft or delicate, as it will fall apart in the pudding.
- Dry the bread properly: Before using the bread in the pudding, dry it out in a low oven or on a wire rack at room temperature. This will help to prevent the pudding from becoming too soggy.
- Use high-quality ingredients: Use fresh milk, eggs, and butter for the best flavor. You can also add in your favorite spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- Don't overcook the pudding: Bread pudding is best when it is slightly firm in the center. Overcooking will make it dry and dense.
- Serve the pudding warm or cold: Bread pudding can be served warm with a scoop of ice cream or custard, or it can be chilled and served cold.
