BREAD PUDDING
WITH CARAMEL SAUCE
Grey Gables Bed
'N Breakfast Inn
Rugby, Tennessee
1 loaf fresh white
bread, cubed
4 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 apples, cored, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup raisins
Caramel Sauce
Place the cubed
bread in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a large saucepan bring
the milk and butter to a simmer. In a large stainless bowl combine the
eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, whisking to blend. Slowly pour a
steady stream of the heated milk into the egg mixture, whisking the
entire time until fully mixed.
Spread half of
the bread cubes over the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan. Layer with apple
slices and raisins. Top with the remaining bread cubes. Pour the egg
and milk mixture over the cubes 1 cup at a time. Use a spatula to press
down the layers until all the liquid is absorbed. Cover the bread pudding
with foil or parchment paper, place on the top rack of the oven, and
bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Serve with Caramel
Sauce (see recipe below).

Sauce:
1 1/2 cups sugar
