Instructions
Poached Apple
- Remove the core from the apples and chop them into rough chunks.
- Bring about 1 cup of water to boil in a small saucepan, add the apples and simmer on a medium heat with the lid on for approximately 3-5 minutes or until the apple is soft enough to piece with a knife.
- Drain the apple and set aside.
Bread Pudding
- Break apart the bread roughly and place in a small ceramic baking dish approximately 15cm x 8cm. It's important to keep the pudding quite compact (not spread out) so don't worry if the baking dish seems a bit small.
- Spoon the poached apple around the bread, tucking them into all sides.
- In a jug or small bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Pour this mixture over the bread and apple.
- It's important to let the pudding sit for at least an hour to allow the liquid to really soak into the bread. You can also leave this in the fridge overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 180° and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top of the bread is nice and brown.
- Serve it up hot with some ice cream for dessert or your favourite yoghurt for breakfast. (Tip: coconut yoghurt works amazingly well with the cinnamon in this recipe.)
