Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) butter
• 1 Whole apple, peeled and sliced
• 0.25 Cups raisins, marinated
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) dark rum, marinated
• 1 Pinch ground cinnamon, seasoned
• 8 Slices cinnamon raisin bread, diced
• 0.75 Cups brown sugar
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 0.75 Cups whole milk
• 1 Cup lowfat evaporated milk
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) ground cinnamon
• 0.25 Cups butter, melted
• 2 Large eggs, whisked
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) whole milk
• 5 Teaspoons (tsp) cornstarch, sifted
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) butter, melted
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) dark rum
• 0.5 Cups whole milk
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vanilla extract

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter.
2. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced apple, raisins, 1 tablespoon of rum, and a pinch of cinnamon. Cook until the apples are soft, about 10 minutes. Toss the apple mixture with the bread cubes and spoon into the prepared pan.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, 0.75 cups of whole milk, evaporated milk, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and 0.25 cups of butter. Stir until the butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. While whisking constantly, slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs. Pour the custard over the bread cubes and apples in the pan.
5. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the pudding is puffed and lightly browned, about 10 additional minutes.
6. While the pudding bakes, prepare the rum sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of milk and cornstarch until smooth. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in 1 tablespoon of rum, 0.5 cups of milk, and 0.25 cups of white sugar. Bring to a boil, then slowly add the cornstarch mixture, stirring until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.
7. Pour the warm rum sauce over the bread pudding. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the sauce to thicken and form a beautiful glaze. Enjoy your decadent dessert!
