Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons apple brandy, such as Calvados
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
2 cinnamon sticks
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Salt
1/4 cup apple brandy, such as Calvados
1/2 loaf day-old country loaf bread, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 cinnamon sticks
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
5 large egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup creme fraiche
Ground cinnamon, for dusting
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • For the bread pudding custard: Combine the cream, milk, vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
  • Whisk together the yolks, granulated sugar and maple syrup in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the hot cream mixture until combined. Remove the vanilla pod and whisk in the apple brandy. Strain the custard into a clean bowl.
  • For the apple-ginger caramel sauce: To a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and allow to melt. Next, add the apples, cinnamon sticks and ginger and saute until softened but still hold their shape. Season with salt. Deglaze with the apple brandy and allow to cook until the sauce has become a thick, glazy consistency. Remove the cinnamon sticks. Combine the apple-ginger caramel sauce with the bread.
  • For the anglaise: Bring the half-and-half, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean seeds to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
  • Whisk together the yolks and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until at the pale ribbon stage. Slowly whisk in the hot half-and-half, return the mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture coats the back of the spoon. Strain into a bowl and set over an ice bath. Stir until chilled. Cover with plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving
  • To assemble and bake: Place the silicone molds in a roasting pan. Fill the molds with the soaked bread, and then pour the bread pudding custard over the bread, pressing down on the bread to totally submerge it in the custard. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up some of the custard.
  • Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and pour in hot tap water until it comes halfway up the sides of the inner roasting pan. Bake until the sides are slightly puffed and the center jiggles slightly, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and the water bath and cool on a baking rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • For the whipped cream: In a cold bowl, whisk the cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Fold in the creme fraiche until combined.
  • Unmold the bread pudding, serve with the vanilla bean creme anglaise and whipped cream. Dust with cinnamon, powdered sugar and garnish with mint. Bread pudding is best served warm.

10-MINUTE GINGER CAKE "BAKED" APPLES



10-Minute Ginger Cake

I love baked apples and ginger cake -- so I decided to put them together. Even better, this homey autumn dessert comes together so fast that you can make it any time you've got a craving!

Provided by Carla Hall

Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 medium apples, cored with an apple corer
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon fleur-de-sel
1 cup Apple Cider Caramel Sauce (recipe follows)
1 pint vanilla ice cream, for serving
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup apple cider
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into fourths
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Using a spoon, remove enough of the interior of each apple so that the walls are about 1/2-inch thick all around, including the bottom, and there's enough of a well for the cake batter. Place the apples in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave the apples until just warm, 20 to 40 seconds, then remove and set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, milk, vegetable oil, and maple syrup in a medium bowl until just combined. Spoon or pour the batter inside the apples, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top of each. Microwave the apples in the same microwave-safe dish until the batter rises and sets, about 2 minutes 20 seconds. Dust the top edges of the apples with a little fleur-de-sel and let cool slightly, then serve with Apple Cider Caramel Sauce and vanilla ice cream.
  • Mix the sugar and lemon juice in a deep nonstick saucepan, place over medium heat and cover. Have a pastry brush and a small bowl of water nearby to brush the sides of the pot of any granules of sugar.
  • When the sugar starts to brown, swirl the pan to ensure even browning until the sugar is amber in color, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour in the apple cider -- step back, because there will be sputtering.
  • Add the butter. Swirl the pan to melt the butter, then add the heavy cream, cinnamon and ginger. Remove from the heat. The caramel will continue to thicken off the heat. Stir before serving. Makes 1 1/2 cups. Can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently on the stove top or in the microwave.

WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES WITH GINGER AND CARAMELIZED APPLES



Whipped Sweet Potatoes with Ginger and Caramelized Apples image

Silky pureed sweet potatoes get fruity notes from applesauce and hints of heat from freshly grated ginger. A topping of caramelized diced apples makes a beautiful presentation, but also works wonderfully with the flavor of the sweet mash -- so well that nobody will miss the standard mini marshmallows.

4 large sweet potatoes, pierced with the tines of a fork
