Pandemic Apple Bread Pudding for Two
apples desserts eggs
<p>In the event of a global pandemic, cheer yourself up and bolster your immune system with this&nbsp;comforting dessert.</p> <ul> <li>1 c milk</li> <li>1 tbsp butter (or use some whipping cream, see note)</li> <li>1/2 tsp vanilla extract</li> <li>1/2 tsp cinnamon</li> <li>some cardamon</li> <li>1 tbsp whiskey or whatever booze is in your pandemic pantry</li> <li>2 1/2 tbsp sugar</li> <li>pinch salt</li> <li>1/4&nbsp;loaf bread cut into 2-inch cubes (about 3 cups)</li> <li>2 eggs, beaten</li> <li>1 apple, peeled and cut into chunks</li> <li>raisins</li> </ul> <p>If you&#39;ve got it (ha! unlikely!), use&nbsp;a sweet egg bread like challah. If you&#39;re using a random dried out lump of bread, cut off the hard crusty bits before cubing it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Preheat oven to 350.</p> <p>In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk, butter, spices, booze, sugar and salt. Continue cooking just until butter melts and sugar dissolves; cool. Once cool, add eggs and whisk.</p> <p>Note: Alternatively, replace some of&nbsp;the milk with whipping cream&nbsp;and skip the butter. Whisk the eggs and sugar together to dissolve sugar and add milk, cream, spices, booze and salt. Skip the warming step.</p> <p>Meanwhile, butter a 4-to-6 cup dish and fill it with cubed bread, apples, and raisins.</p> <p>Pour custard mixture over the bread. Bake for 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and top of the bread is brown and a little crunchy.</p> <p>Serves 2.</p>; <p>Source (but I substantially modified it): <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1012636-simple-bread-pudding">Simple Bread Pudding</a>&nbsp;at NY Times</p>;
