Apple Bread Pudding With Luscious Vanilla Sauce
Bread Pudding With Vanilla Sauce
When my sous chef dish-washing mom made Overnight Egg and Cheese Casserole for her Bible study group, we had a half loaf of white bread left over. We are not big white bread eaters but we are big lovers of bread pudding. I also had a few whole wheat hot dog buns also leftover from a lunchtime splurge of “dogs on the grill.”
I like making Paula Deen’s Bread Pudding but I live by the thought 
Apple Bread Pudding
Mom went right to work and turned out a beautiful, fragrant, and lovely dessert. We changed up the ingredient amounts to fit the amount of bread we had leftover. When this came out of the oven and my Chief Bread Pudding Eater and I started oohing and aaahing little did we know the best was yet to come!
That is when mom started creating this vanilla sauce! I adore all things vanilla and especially since I made a 1/2 gallon of my own homemade vanilla extract.
Homemade Vanilla Extract
Btw – this is the perfect time to make vanilla for Christmas gifts. Just a thought.
Okay, back to Vanilla Sauce. You are going to want to make this sauce. Pour it over bread pudding. Pour it over ice cream. Just drink it out of the pan. It is that good! 🙂
Apples – raisins – bread – it all goes together as if created just for this purpose. Next time I will add walnuts. (I have added walnuts to the recipe printed below).

I hope this recipe is coming to a kitchen near you – soon!*
God Bless and Happy Baking!
