Ramekin Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding

I felt bad about posting the cranberry banana bread pudding without a picture, and it just so happened that we needed a dessert for tonight…hence the following recipe for Apple Cinnamon Individual Bread Puddings!

Makes 4 (4 inch ramekins)

Ingredients:

1 gala apple, sliced 1/4 inch thick and chopped coarsely

~4 cups day old French bread, cubed (1/2 inch cubes) with crust

1 C milk

2 eggs

1/3 C sugar, plus 2 t for dusting

1 t. ground cinnamon, divided

1/8 t allspice

Margarine for greasing

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease bottom and sides of each ramekin

In a medium-sized mixing bowl:

Ready to bake

• Beat eggs with a whisk until they are good and mixed up
• Add milk, 1/2 t. cinnamon and allspice, whisk
• Add sugar, whisk
• Add bread cubes, gently fold into the mixture to coat
• Add chopped apple, again, gently fold into mixture to disperse somewhat evenly
• Divide among the ramekins
• Sprinkle cinnamon then 1/2 t sugar on the tops of each
• Place on metal baking sheet, and bake for 35-40 minutes on the middle rack

Poof! Right out of the oven.

Settled and cooling
