Thanksgiving Dessert

Here's a wonderful dessert for turkey day - I used Cajeta instead of melted caramels when I made it this morning for tomorrow's dinner. It's essentially the same thing, and easier than unwrapping caramels. Local apples make it even better!


Warm Caramel Apple Bread Pudding

1 qt cream
6 eggs
4 oz. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 small loaf of French bread
2-3 Granny Smith apples
1 lb. caramels, melted

Cut bread into cubes and toast. 
Place bread into buttered Pyrex dish, and
alternate layers of caramel and sliced
apples until full.  Mix cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Pour over bread and
apples.  Bake at 325 degrees in a
water bath for an hour, until set.
