Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons (divided) butter
1 apple, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons (divided) rum
8 slices cinnamon raisin bread, crusts removed, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup (divided) white sugar
1 1/2 cups (divided) nonfat milk
1 cup lowfat evaporated milk
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cinnamon
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in the apple, raisins, 1 tablespoon rum, and pinch of cinnamon. Cook until the apples are soft.
  • Toss apples with bread cubes, and spoon into prepared pan.
  • Combine brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 3/4 cup nonfat milk, evaporated milk, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until butter is melted.
  • Whisk the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl. Whisking constantly, pour hot milk mixture into beaten eggs. Pour custard over bread cubes and apples.
  • Cover pan with aluminum foil; bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake until pudding is puffed and lightly browned, about 10 additional minutes.
  • While the pudding bakes, prepare the rum sauce. Whisk together 3 tablespoons nonfat milk and the cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Stir in 1 tablespoon rum, 1/2 cup nonfat milk, and 1/4 cup white sugar; bring to a boil. Slowly add cornstarch mixture, stirring until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla.
  • Pour rum sauce over warm pudding. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken and form a beautiful glaze.
