Apple and Caramel Bread Pudding

Since I've lived here in Bama I have come to love Bread Pudding. I don't remember Mamee or Coot making this when I was younger but it wasn't a favorite. My mother-in-law, Jessie Ellis is known for her bread pudding...and even though it took me a minute before I would even try it, when I finally did I found that it was delicious. I guess I have acquired a taste for it. There are so many different ways to make bread pudding. I have made a breakfast bread pudding with a praline sauce for my book club that was delicious but not healthy. I'm a lover of caramel apple anything so I thought this would be good...I will be trying this one.





Soymilk and fat-free ingredients offer a twist to delicious bread pudding.

Super Egg Substitutes

Egg whites provide the protein from eggs but don't contain the cholesterol found in egg yolks. That's good news for your heart.

Success
Bread pudding made with a bread that's too soft can be very soft and almost mushy. Gently squeeze bread loaves to choose the one that has some resistance and doesn't feel like a marshmallow!
