Italian Bread Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 small eating apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into rings
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp white wine
- 3 1/2 ounces bread, sliced with crusts removed
- 1 1/4 cups light cream
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Pared rind of 1 orange, cut into matchsticks
Directions:
- Lightly grease a 2-pint, deep ovenproof dish with the butter.
- Arrange the apple rings in the base of the dish. Sprinkle half the sugar over the apples.
- Pour the wine over the apple slices, add the slices of bread, pushing them down with your hands to flatten them slightly.
- Mix the cream with the eggs, the remaining sugar, and the orange rind, and pour the mixture over the bread. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
- Bake the pudding in a preheated oven at 350 F for 25 minutes, until golden and set. Serve warm.
- Variation: Try adding dried fruit, such as apricots, cherries, or dates, to the pudding.
