Ingredients
- BREAD PUDDING:
- 1 package King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, stale
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup half and half
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
- pinch of salt
- APPLE PIE FILLING:
- 2 large granny smith apples, peeled and cubed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Method
- Melt the butter for the filling in a pan over medium heat, then add the apples, light brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and lemon juice and stir to coat.
- Simmer the apples on low for 6 to 8 minutes until a fork slides in easily.
- Mix the water and cornstarch into a slurry, stir it into the pan until the filling thickens, then move the filling to a bowl.
- Heat the oven to 350°F and whisk the half and half, melted butter, egg, vanilla, white sugar and salt together until smooth.
- Tear the sweet rolls into smaller pieces in a large bowl, pour the milk mixture over them and toss gently with a spatula so every piece is soaked.
- Layer half the soaked bread into two individual skillets, spoon the apple filling over it, and cover with the remaining bread.
- Bake on the middle rack for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the centers are set, and serve the puddings warm in their skillets.
