Caramel Apple Croissant Bread Pudding
September 11, 2015 by Judith Hanneman
What says autumn better than apples and caramel? Here’s a croissant bread pudding you’ll serve year round.
A while ago, I saw a bread pudding made with croissants and I thought that was a very good idea because the pudding would be rich and buttery because of the croissants.
My store had mini croissants reduced as day-old, so I picked some up because you want day-old or slightly dried out for this. I also had a lone apple floating around in my crisper and I couldn’t think of any more perfect addition to this. The tartness of the apple sort of cuts through the rich and sweet taste of the base pudding.
The recipe is very easy. All you do here is make the custard. The major ingredients such as the croissants and the caramel are both store-bought items
I baked this one conventionally because I wanted a crispy and brown top, but this dessert is also perfect for the slow cooker, very much like my Donut Bread Pudding. Directions for the slow cooker are in the recipe.
