Apple-Inspired Baking Recipes

“I have insomnia off and on and one night when I was up till the wee hours I figured I would just get some of my cookbooks out and see what I could find to make. I came across a caramel apple bread pudding recipe that sounded so good and I just happened to have all the ingredients so I went to work and this was the end result with just a tweak here and there to make it my own. I of course had to eat some while it was still warm just to make sure it was fit for the family the next morning and it passed with flying colors.” – Jan
