Wow! So good! I too used the Cinnamon Swirl bread and the cranberries. I wasn't going to make the sugared milk "sauce" but it was really good with the bread pudding. My dinner guests are talking about it weeks later...that's a keeper!

I usually always read reviews from others and whether I like, love or hate a recipe, I usually never leave reviews but for this recipe, I just had to because it was just that good. I used Cinnamon Swirl bread as suggested by another reviewer and dried cranberries because I am not a big raisin fan. The tanginess of the cranberries and Granny Smith apples so complimented this pudding. It was fabulous. I made no changes to the recipe at all and I LOVED it so much that it will be a regulare dessert in my house. It was PERFECT! Thank you for the recipe. I loved it so much that I have already recommended it to all my friends and family and even posted the recipe link on my FB page.
