Apple-Nut Bread Pudding
Traditional bread pudding gives way to autumn's influences in this comforting dessert. I add apples and pecans to this slow-cooked version, then top warm servings with ice cream. —Lori Fox, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

Making this now. Recipe did not say to mix everything once it's in the crock.. Are you supposed to?
3 STARS for oven baked version. Don't have a 3 quart slow cooker so I took a reviewer's suggestion and baked it in the oven. After 35 minutes at 350 degrees and covered it was still cold in the center. After an additional 20 minutes it was still soupy. An additional 15 minutes and it was hot throughout but too wet. My final result: after a total of 70 minutes in the oven the apples were crunchy and the bread was soggy. Perhaps the slow cooker is the essential ingredient in this recipe...or perhaps I am just not a bread pudding kind of person.
This recipe turned out great. I love the toasted pecans in this bread, and the use of cinnamon-raisin bread is wonderful! This is a delicious comfort food dessert that smells and tastes so good!
I made this in the oven as I was in a bind for time: 350* for 35 minutes (until it was bubbling), then I transported it in a crockpot to a family reunion. It was a huge hit and the best bread pudding I have ever had!
I miss the nutrient values and calories per serving in this new format.
I HAVEN'T MADE THIS YET BUT IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL. I LIKE TO READ THE REVIEWS OF OTHER PEOPLE TO SEE WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT A RECIPE.
would like nutritional information
3 to 4 hours was way too long a cook time on low in my crockpot. It was done in 2 1/2 hours. Even though I buttered my pot very well, a few raisins stuck to sides of the pot and began burning. I would make this again, but in the oven, not a crock pot.
Made it exactly as directed, it was delicious!!
