Fruit and Nut Bread Pudding
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 45 min.
YIELD: 15 servings.
This recipe started out as a plain bread pudding. My husband, Tom, suggested adding some pecans, then I decided to add the pie filling. These ingredients make the pudding crunchy, moist and even more delicious.
