I used this recipe as a vehicle for stale brown sandwich bread and leftover apple slices from a week's worth of school lunches. After the 1 hr soaking, I decided the mixture was still too dry so I beat up 2 more eggs with 1/2 cup whipping cream and 1/2 cup low fat milk, let it soak overnight. The final bread pudding, baked in a water-bath, was dry on the surface, even after I poured the caramel sauce evenly over the top. I would not make again. This may be a good choice for people seeking a low-fat version of bread pudding, but it lacks the moistness of the original dessert.

Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her.
