Cooking Tips & Terms







Apple-Bread Pudding with Maple Cream

Serves 4

  • 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Calvados
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4 ounces crust-less French bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 4 large Granny Smith apples
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
 

Whisk together the cream, milk, eggs, Calvados, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the sugar and whisk until completely combined. Stir in the bread and let sit for 30 minutes until the liquid is completely absorbed.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each apple so that it sits flat. Cut a thin slice off the top and using a melon baller, scoop out the center of the apple to create a bowl-like shape. Spoon equal amounts of the bread mixture into each apple. Place in a roasting pan and bake for 30 minutes until the apple is tender but still holds its shape.

While the apples are baking, whip the cream in a medium bowl with a whisk or electric mixer until firm. Stir in the maple syrup.

Arrange an apple on each plate and top with a dollop of the whipped cream.
