    apple pecan bread pudding

    Apple Pecan Bread Pudding

    1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
    3 eggs
    8 slices raisin bread, diced
    2 cups half-and-half or milk
    2 medium green apples
    1/4 cup bourbon or brandy
    1 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    Vanilla ice cream (optional)
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Spread pecans in a shallow baking pan and bake until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Meanwhile, place bread cubes in a greased crockpot.

    Peel, core and thinly slice the apples

    Mix lightly together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, add eggs and mix well. Blend in half-and-half or milk and then stir in bourbon or brandy.

    Lightly mix pecans with bread and apples.

    Pour egg mixture over bread. Drizzle with butter. Cover and cook on LOW until apples are tender when pierced and custard is set - about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. Let pudding stand, covered, for about 15 minutes.

    Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.

        crockpot apple butter

        Crockpot Apple Butter

        Apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
        4 cups granulated sugar or less
        4 teaspoons cinnamon
        1/4 teaspoon cloves
        1/4 teaspoon salt

        Fill crockpot heaping full of chopped apples. The lid may not fit at first, but it will as the apples shrink while cooking. Drizzle sugar (sweet apples require less sugar), cinnamon, cloves and salt over apples. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.

        Turn heat to LOW and cook all day until thick and dark in color. Stir occasionally. Pour into small jars, leaving plenty of room for expansion while freezing. Cool and freeze.
