SERENA’S RAISIN APPLE BREAD PUDDING

I used a whole pack of hot dog buns my husband brought back from camp that they did not eat.. and about 5 slices of sandwhich bread… you could use loaf of french bread  if you had it ……..

• Take the bread tear up in large chunks

• Toast in oven on cookie sheet under broiler at 500 degrees

and place into a sprayed 9×13 cake pan

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

• mix your sugar and egg mixture.

Mix up :

1 cup sugar

7-8 whole eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1 stick melted butter

1 cup  of raisins

about 1/4 cup whole pecans

tsp cinnamon

1/3 cup brown sugar

mix up well put to side until ready to use

• Make your Apple Mixture on stove top

I didn’t measure, about 2-3 cups sliced apples I had thawed out from freezer… (can use fresh just cook up till soft)

put in pot and cook with tab butter

1/2 cup buttermilk or reg milk with lemon juice added

1/2 tsp soda

2 tsp vanilla (add last after apples are cooked)

add pecans and some of your raisins to apple mixture with a tiny bit of butter

add about 1/3 – 1/2 cup of caramel dip..

once you add this last bit.. cook one minute and take off stove..

• you will put this mixture OVER your toasted bread

• Take 3 cups buttermilk and pour over top

• pour your sugar mixture over top of this (spread your raisins over top evenly)

Bake until done.. 30-35 minutes. according to your oven really.keep watch on it

make your topping.. put topping on as SOON as it comes out of oven warm.

• TOPPING:

1 Cup sugar

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup butter

1/2 tsp soda

add 2 tsp vanilla stir

1/4 tsp Rum Flavoring

boil 1 minute  and pour over warm bread pudding

now it is great warm with vanilla ice cream but it will be firmer if you let it sit a while if you can take it… LOL we couldn’t take it and cut into it.. we were OUT of vanilla ice cream… can you believe it.. LOL
