Ingredients: 1 prepared pastry shell, defrosted
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup raisins
3 medium apples, peeled and cored
2 apples, finely chopped
1 apple sliced (for garnishing)
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/2 cup whole pecans (for garnishing)
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbs. vanilla
2 Tbs. melted butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 loaf stale French bread Ingredients for the Rum Sauce: 1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, well beaten
Rum to taste Preparation for the Bread Pudding: Line the bottom of an ungreased dish with defrosted pastry shell. Poke holes in sides and bottoms, and bake according to instructions. Set aside. In a microwave safe bowl, heat milk and raisins on high for 4 minutes. Let stand. In the bowl containing the milk and raisin mixture, add the following: egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, melted butter and cinnamon. Mix together well. Add the chopped apples and chopped pecans. Tear into small pieces 1/2 loaf of stale French bread. Add bread pieces to mixture and stir well. Keep adding bread until just a small amount of liquid is left in bottom of the bowl. Spoon mixture over baked puff pastry. Use sliced apples to garnish top, making circle with the apples (fan them out). Tuck whole pecans between apple slices in the center of the pan. Sprinkle reserved chopped pecans around outside of the pan and in the center (figure A). Bake in 350-degree oven for 40-50 minutes, until dark golden brown. Preparation for Rum Sauce: Using a double broiler, melt butter, then add sugar, egg and rum to taste. Make sure the mixture does not boil or the sugar will crystallize. Pour rum sauce over hot bread pudding.
