My sisters and I share the same past time; baking. The thing that I love most about baking is the amount of creativity that you can put into a recipe and we always share our newly found holy grail recipes in our whatsapp group.All of us are busy with our own things every day but we love the fact that the kitchen is still our safe haven.
In all honesty, where I live now the kitchen is tiny and the lack of familiar tools frustrate me. For my birthday this year I asked for a new mixer because the old one is rusty. ( I CAN’T EVEN FIND THE PARTS BEING SOLD HERE!!). So off we went and I was happy with this new standing mixer that I bought while thinking of the amazing breads that I can make later. It was such an effing dismay that the mixer was a complete joke! The stand is literally a stand. The bowl doesn’t rotate or anything. I though the stand was faulty. NOPE. I feel like crying just thinking about it. Another thing that I miss having is a legit oven. The one that I have now is a microwave oven that can grill, bake and many other things. But there is nothing that can replace a normal oven. Did I mention that our kitchen is tiny? Tiny kitchen comes with tiny working space. Sigh. One day, when we move out maybe.
Having a small microwave oven and a simple mixer with very limited counter space, baking can be quite a challenge nowadays. So I tend to stick to fool-proof recipe that are easy to make, easy to clean and easy to play around with. Like this Apple Pie Bread Pudding recipe. It is basically bread pudding with apple pie filling.
Apple Pie Bread Pudding
4 large eggs, beaten
3/4 granulated white sugar or ½ cup brown sugar
4 cups of milk
7-9 pieces of white bread
a dash of cinnamon and vanilla
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
2. Mix the milk, beaten eggs, sugar cinnamon and vanilla in a big bowl
3. Cut the bread pieces into small cubes and soak them in the milk mixture.
4. Pour into an 8" x 8" baking dish and set aside.
Apple Pie filling
4 small apples
½ teaspoon of cinnamon
½ cup of sugar or less, depending on the sweetness of the apples.
3 tablespoon of flour
1. Peel, core an cut the apples into small cubes.
2. Mix the apples, cinnamon, sugar and flour together.
3. Spread the apple pie filling onto the bread pudding mixture evenly.
4. Bake for about 20 mins to 30 mins.
5. Serve hot with a scoop of ice cream
It is so easy to make, in less than an hour, you can make it, bake it and eat it piping hot with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. The hot and cold sensations in your mouth bring this easy dessert to another level. We served this to our guests recently; and they were amazed by it.
Enjoy!
Love,
Soffy
