I felt this was great and plenty sweet as is so I didn't try the vanilla sauce.
The recipe is easily cut in half, just use a 1 quart-ish dish.

Gramma's Apple Bread Pudding-from Allrecipes
4 C soft bread cubes-I just let my stale bread soak for about 10 minutes before baking
1/4 C raisins-I suggest plumping with hot water, rum, orange juice, etc., squeeze before adding
2 C peeled and thinly sliced apples-I went with 1/4" matchsticks
1 C brown sugar
1 3/4 C milk
1/4 C butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
Vanilla Sauce-I did not make this
1/4 C sugar
1/4 C brown sugar
1/2 C milk
1/2 C butter
1 tsp vanilla
*Note: There are very specific instructions if you click the provided link. I cheated:@)
- Add bread, raisins and apples to 7x11 buttered baking dish.
- Melt butter and mix it with the rest of the pudding ingredients in bowl, pour over bread in baking dish. Let soak, maybe push the bread down a bit to help it absorb the custard mixture.
- Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes or until set and golden brown. Some people suggest placing your baking dish in a hot water bath and baking it that way. I did do this, it stayed very moist. Next time ~and there will be a next time~ I'll just bake it on the oven rack.
- Make vanilla sauce while pudding bakes: Mix everything except vanilla in small sauce pan, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Serve over bread pudding.
I am sooooo pinning this for the future! It looks lovely!
