Ingredients

  • 1 – 1 lb loaf French bread
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup less 1½ tbsp Blend/cream (10%M.F.)
  • 2½ cups thinly sliced baking apples, sliced about 1/8” thick (about 3 medium-sized apples)
  • ½ tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp maple liqueur
  • 3 extra-large eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp allspice
  • Pinch cardamom
  • ¾ cup raisins soaked in 1½ tbsp maple liqueur

Instructions

  1. Assemble ingredients.
  2. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  3. Grease 9”x13” pan.
  4. In large bowl, roughly tear the French bread into small pieces, crusts and all.
  5. Pour the milk and blend (cream) over the bread.
  6. Cover and let sit for 15-30 minutes then hand crush mixture until well blended.
  7. Meanwhile, peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into slices about 1/8” thick.
  8. Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add the apples and sauté for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with brown sugar and sauté apples for another minute. Remove pan from heat and add liqueur. Return to heat and sauté the apples for 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened and a golden color.
  9. In medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the sugar and beat again. Beat in the maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Add the spices and stir well. Pour over bread-milk mixture in large bowl and mix well.
  10. Lastly, gently fold in the sautéed apples along with the raisins.
  11. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Smooth batter evenly in pan.
  12. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until pudding springs back to a light touch and/or a cake tester (or knife) inserted into 2-3 places in the pudding comes out clean.
  13. Remove pudding from oven and transfer pudding pan to a cooling rack to rest for 20 minutes. Slice into 12 pieces and serve warm with maple sauce, brown sugar sauce, crème anglaise, or ice cream.
