Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 slices honey whole-wheat bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup honey
6 large eggs
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 large green apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a 9- by 12-inch baking pan.
  • 2. On a large cookie sheet, spread the bread cubes in an even layer. Bake until lightly toasted, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, yolks, and vanilla.
  • 4. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, bring the milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a simmer. Remove from heat immediately. Whisking constantly, slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture. Let the custard cool slightly.
  • 5. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, apple, and walnuts. Gently stir in the custard, coating the bread mixture thoroughly with the liquid. Let stand, tossing once or twice to distribute, until the custard is mostly absorbed, about 10 minutes.
  • 6. Spread the pudding evenly into the baking pan. Bake until it is brown and the edges are bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool, then slice and serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream.

WALNUT AND APPLE BREAD PUDDING



Walnut and Apple Bread Pudding image

Apples and walnuts ripen at about the same time, and are often grown in the same region. Pair them with a crusty, rustic loaf of bread, some spices, milk, and eggs, and you've got a perfect dessert for a fall afternoon. Puddings and bread puddings are particularly easy to make in a slow cooker, and the results are nearly always perfect.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cups levain or country bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch (or smaller) cubes
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
4 large eggs
Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving
Brown sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Coat the interior of the slow cooker insert with the butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread, apples, cinnamon, walnuts, and raisins and mix them together as thoroughly as possible. (I use clean hands, the best mixing device I know of.) Place the bread and apple mixture in the slow cooker insert.
  • In a blender, combine the milk, sugar, and eggs and blend thoroughly. Gently pour the liquid over the bread, using a spoon to press the bread down into the liquid.
  • Cover and cook on low for about 3 hours, or until the liquid has been absorbed by the bread and a crust is beginning to form.
  • Turn off the slow cooker and allow the pudding to settle for 15 to 20 minutes, then spoon individual portions into bowls and top each portion with a generous serving of whipped cream and a sprinkling of brown sugar.
  • Tea or coffee are good choices here. If you can find one, a Canadian apple ice wine would be delightful.

Apple and walnut whole wheat bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and perfect for fall. It's a comforting dish that can be served for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The combination of whole wheat bread, apples, and walnuts provides a healthy and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making apple and walnut whole wheat bread pudding recipes that will help you create a delicious, moist, and flavorful dessert.

Tips:

1. Choose the right bread:
The bread you use can make or break your bread pudding. Using whole wheat bread is a healthier option, as it provides more fiber and nutrients compared to white bread. However, not all whole wheat bread is created equal. Look for a bread that has a dense texture and is slightly stale. This will give you the best texture for your pudding as it will absorb the liquid and hold its shape.
2. Use the right amount of liquid:
The amount of liquid you use will depend on the type and amount of bread you use. A good rule of thumb is to use about two cups of liquid for every six cups of bread. The liquid can be any type of milk, cream, or half and half. You can also add eggs, which will thicken the pudding and give it a richer flavor.
3. Soak the bread:
It's essential to let the bread soak up the liquid for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the bread to absorb the liquid, resulting in a moist and tender pudding. Be sure to give it a stir every 10-15 minutes to ensure all the bread is soaking evenly.
4. Add flavor:
Bread pudding doesn't have to be boring. Add flavors like cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, or even some maple syrup to enhance the taste of your pudding. You can also add raisins, chocolate chips, or any other fruit you like to give it more depth of flavor.
5. Layer the ingredients:
To ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed, it's crucial to layer them correctly. Start with a layer of bread, then add a layer of sliced apples and chopped walnuts. Repeat until you have used all the ingredients. Make sure to end with a layer of bread on top.
6. Use the right dish:
Choosing the right dish is essential when making apple and walnut whole wheat bread pudding. A deep dish like a casserole dish or a Dutch oven will allow the pudding to cook evenly and prevent it from overflowing. Be sure to butter or oil the dish before adding the ingredients to prevent sticking.
7. Baking:
Baking the pudding takes about 45 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees F. If the pudding feels too dry, you can add more liquid or cover it with foil to prevent it from drying out. Once it's done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving hot or cold.
8. Serving:
Apple and walnut whole wheat bread pudding can be served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. You can also top it with some caramel sauce to make it extra decadent. It's also delicious served cold and can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.

Conclusion:

Making apple and walnut whole wheat bread pudding is easy and fun. Follow these valuable tips, and you'll be able to create a moist and flavorful dessert that will impress your family and friends. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create a healthy and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion.
