Raisin-Apple Bread Pudding Recipe

"The original recipe for this dessert came from a farming magazine," writes Cora Uden of Juniata, Nebraska. "I changed several ingredients in it to cut down on calories, but it's still homey and satisfying. In fact, we like this version as well as the original."

This is an excellent bread pudding. The apples go well and provide a nice contrast too. Flavours were in harmony. I made extra sauce and used it to pour over the pudding as an extra. Would recommend.
