Ingredients:

- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 🍶
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 🌀
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter 🧈
- 2 1/4 cups milk 🥛

- For Bourbon Sauce:

- 1 cup icing sugar 🍬
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 🧈
- Bourbon 🥃
Instructions:
-
Beat and Blend: With an electric mixer, beat eggs until frothy (about 3 minutes). Add sugar, nutmeg, vanilla, and cinnamon, and beat until well blended.
-
Prepare the Base: In a saucepan, heat the butter and milk until the butter melts (but do not allow it to boil).
-
Mix and Soak: In a large bowl, mix together raisins, pecans, and bread cubes. Combine the milk and egg mixtures, pouring this over the bread, and allow it to soak for a delightful 45 minutes.
-
Preheat and Grease: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease individual ramekins or a large loaf pan.
-
Add the Apple Twist: Incorporate the diced apple into the bread pudding, and spoon the mixture into the baking container.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place it in the oven, immediately reducing the heat to 300 degrees F, and bake for 40 minutes. Then, increase the heat to 425 degrees F and bake for an additional 15 minutes until it’s delightfully browned.
-
Bourbon Sauce Creation: To make the tantalizing bourbon sauce, combine 2 eggs and icing sugar. Melt butter in a double broiler, whisk in the egg mixture, and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has melted, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Bourbon Magic: Allow the sauce to cool, and then add that touch of magic – bourbon! 🥃
-
Serve and Enjoy: Pour this delectable bourbon sauce over the bread pudding and serve it with a smile. It’s a taste of pure indulgence that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.
