Bread Pudding - Apple Spiced

By

Ingredients

  • 6 Kirkland Signature apple spice crumb muffins
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk or whipping cream
  • 1 tea. vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
  • 2 1/2 tea. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups small diced apples (peeled if desired)
  • 1 large red apple, cut in thin slices
  • Caramel sundae topping , warmed

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously spray a 3-4 qt. ovenproof casserole/serving dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Prepare the muffins by cutting into coarse pieces, about 1" square. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, salt, sugar, butter, flour and baking powder. Add the muffin chunks and diced apples and blend well but gently, taking care to not break apart the muffin chunks. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Spoon into the casserole. Place apple slices decoratively on top.

Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the muffin-filling (which becomes a custard) just begins to brown and appears lightly set. Remove from the oven and drizzle on warm caramel sauce. Cut into squares and serve warm, chilled or at room temperature with cream.

Make ahead: can be made up to two days ahead and refrigerate until you're ready to bake it.
