Apple Bread and Butter Pudding

Bread and butter pudding is a staple and you cant go far wrong by adding apples to it.

Ingredients

  • 4 or 5 large slices of stale white bread.

  • 50g softened butter( for spreading)

  • 200 - 250g peeled, cored and cut apples (see method)

  • 2 tbps sugar

  • 500ml milk (full fat preferably)

  • 4 standard or 3 large eggs

  • 1/2 tsp powdered cinnamon

Method

Allow the apples to thaw. Ours had a coating of butter and so this version is a little rich in calories and fats but you don't have to eat all of it in one go!


Butter one side of the bread and cut into triangles ( see image).

ree

In a bowl make the custard by mixing the eggs, milk, cinnamon and sugar together, whisking thoroughly ( by hand is good enough).


Butter a medium sized oven dish ( about 1 litre)


Place the thawed apple mix in the base of the dish and then layer up the bread butter side up.


Pour over the custard mix and leve to soak for about 30 minutes. You want the bread to absorb the liquid and softend but it doesnt have to be evenly tyectured. A little crunch will add texture.


Bake in the centre of an oven at 170C (fan) for about 35 - 40 minutes until it has puffed up and turned golden. It should be set in the middle.


Ready to serve...

Observations

You could add vanilla or vanilla essence to the custard - we didn't have any.


You could grate nutmeg on the top before baking - again we didn't have any.


Another option might be to caramelise the apples before adding to the pudding.


You could sprinkle brown sugar over the top before baking but we kept to a failry low sugar content for taste.
