East Warm Bread Pudding for a Cool Evening

 This is great warm dessert on a cool evening.  One of the great satisfying comfort foods.  In this recipe, I used

Microwave Apple Raisin Bread Pudding

2 cups bread (5-6 pieces)

2 TBs butter

2-3  TBs lemon juice

1 apple (I had red delicious on hand)

½ cup raisins

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

3-4 TBs light brown sugar

1 large egg

2 cups almond milk (I used unsweetened)

½ tsp rum extract

½ tsp vanilla extract

 Plump raisins in hot water.  Put aside.   Tear bread into pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Peel, core and cut apple into small cubes. Add apples and drained raisins to bread.  Combine the ingredients.  Melt butter and pour over mixture. Add lemon juice. Add raisins. Sprinkle on cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix together.

 

In another bowl, beat egg and sugar together.   Add milk, rum and vanilla extracts.  Blend well and pour over bread mixture. Microwave on high for 6 minutes.  Cook 2 minutes longer for firmer bread pudding.

Eat warm

Serves 3-4.
