I made this dessert this past Saturday for a family get-together and followed the recipe exactly except that I used three finely diced gala apples (instead of the 1/2 cup called for). I made it again for my Red Hat chapter meeting yesterday and made some changes: I added about 1/2 cup of raisins, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, larger chunks of apples (used an apple slicer then sliced each wedge) but still used 3 gala apples. Both groups loved it. In both cases, I made it ahead of time, then put in refrigerator until about 45 minutes before we wanted to serve it. Regarding the Egg Substitute: it is available in a liquid form and in a dry form. The first time I made it, I only had the dry form in my cupboard and it wasn't clear in the recipe which form to use. I assumed the recipe was calling for 1/2 cup of liquid egg substitute and that 1/2 cup was equal to two eggs, then mixed the appropriate amount of dry egg substitute with water to equal two eggs. It worked perfectly.

I made this last week...I took it to my 87yr.old Mom's house, her neighbor was there...they both loved it...all I could hear was 'mmmmm--mmmm' the whole time those little old ladies ate this...both had not had bread pudding since their Momma's made it for them...of course mine did not have raisins in it...maybe next time. Great, Easy recipe! Oh...I liked it too...delish!

Great recipe! Two suggestions: ADD pecans - the salt & crunch just sent it over the edge, and use a thick french or italian bread. I used some plain white bread and it took over an hour+ to finish baking. Used sugar free caramel.

Tossed in 1/4 C (or more) raisins and adjusted seasonings (heaping t. cinnamon, 1/8 t. each of cloves, nutmeg and mace.) I really like graciemom's idea with the brandy, and can't wait to add a swish of that on the next go-around. This recipe was so good, we didn't even bother with the caramel.

Made this the week before thanksgiving, husband loved it, and he is picky, but loves bread pudding, came in from hunting today and said, "you can make another batch of that apple bread pudding again", did I say he loved it - he did. This time I am going to alter it and add pumpkin for the apple sauce and see what happens, I too used 2 eggs instead of egg substitutes and it was perfect, will let you know how the pumpkin goes......

Delish!!! Am making it the second time--first time with day old sourdough, today left over Monkey Bread. Also have added 1 cup raisins plumped in hot water with a little added brandy (can use extract if you wish) and about 1/2 c. coarsely chopped walnuts. To save on sugar content due to diabetes in spouse/guests, I used unsweetened applesauce and 1/4 c. Splenda brown. The sugar-free caramel topping is still a little too sweet so it is optional for us. Will definitely be a go-to dessert in future!!

I had put out about 7 pieces of bread the night before to dry out.I used 2 apples.It was very easy & a great fall dessert.I drizzled the carmel on top of the whipped topping to make it pretty & tasty. I would surely make it again, but it only made about 4-5 servings instead of 8.

You can cut down on the sugar even further if you substitute sugar free caramel topping. I use it and you can't tell the difference. Brown sugar actually doesn't have very many grams of sugar in it.

Re:Carol Jackson,

You could always use brown sugar substitute to cut the calories for those on a low sugar or diabetic diet. I always use is when brown sugar is called for in a recipe.

Shariann: I don't see why you can't use real eggs. Remember this recipe is low-fat so that's why it calls for egg substitute.
