I really respect all cookbook authors 
They are so creative to be able to think and create brand new recipes on their own ~ as I have said many times on the blog hehe I’m really just an amateur baker and still learning and doing many things for the first time. And sometimes fail even though I’ve followed the recipe, so it was a huge step for me when I decided to really step out of my comfort zone and really play around with my own adapted recipes hehe they’re not my own recipe because I get the basis of my recipe from the book, blog or magazine, but I have really tried putting some of my own thoughts into it.
So today, I present to you the Apple Pie Bread and Butter Pudding, I need to say a special thank you to Lianne (she’s amazing check out her blog) because I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her croissant bread and butter pudding recipe and the advice she gave me
You may be wondering, while apple pie and while bread and butter pudding? Well to be completely honest with you, I’m not really a big fan of bread and butter pudding, I simply never got it….but then lol at the start of the year when I went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in HK and had their bread and butter pudding topped with their vanilla bean ice-cream, it totally changed my opinion of it hehe sooooo since then I’ve been meaning to make a bread and butter pudding….but never really got the chance to because whenever I want to make it…. Mr Bao will finish all the bread before I could bake with it….or we don’t get the right bread….
Then finally, the other day we bought a loaf of raisin bread for breakfast, Mr Bao doesn’t really like sweet things for breakfast so we’ve been struggling to finish it…YAY finally! STALE BREAD hahha i don’t think I’ve been so excited about stale bread in my life, and it’s the perfect type to make bread and butter pudding with!
So I immediately had a look at the recipes only and got the gist of it, and found that most recipes added chocolate chips or raisins to their pudding, even though I had these at home…I wanted something different, then that’s when I remembered I still had apple pie filling from the other day when I made Apple Pie cucpakes I need to tweek that recipe before I blog about it hehe ~
I was then frantically looking for a recipe that I could base my apple pie bread and butter pudding on…then Lianne came to the rescue 
she said she’d blogged a recipe before, so I quickly jumped onto her blog and found it was the perfect basis for my recipe! I was a little nervous, because I wasn’t adding any raisins or chocolate chip and adding apple pie filling instead.
The finished product? Better than I expected ~ it had the right buttery and fudgy pudding texture, had a rich creamy vanilla flavour then with apple pie pieces all through it! YUM! Only thing I would change is ADD some brown sugar, because I found it to be a little bland, but there is nothing ice-cream or honey or maple syrup can’t fix hehe
Recipe – Apple Pie Bread and Butter adapted from Food Made With Love
Yield - 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
6 Slices of Raisin Bread
1 cup of Apple Pie Filling (Homemade or Can)
20 grams Unsalted Butter
300ml Thickened Cream
50ml Milk
1 Egg
3 Egg yolks
1tsp Vanilla Paste
50grams Sugar (I forgot 
)
Method
1) Preheat your oven to 180°C or 350°F
2) Grease your oven safe dish, use your hands, roughly tear the slices of bread and put them into the dish (I used a small square one)
3) Dice butter into small cubes and place sparingly between the bread slices. Sprinkle apple pie filling over bread slices.
4) To make the custard to pour over the bread, mix/whisk the thickened cream, milk and vanilla paste. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, egg yolks and sugar until well combined, pour mixture into the cream mixture and mix well.
5) Pour custard over the bread slices and let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb the custard.
6) Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle icing sugar all over the top.
7) Serve with honey/maple syrup or ice-cream.

Hope you liked my little creation I still have so much to learn about creating my own recipes but its sure fun! Thanks again Lianne ~
This is my absolute favorite!
Hope you make it for your little lady soon
I will have to try!
I am actually dying what an inspiring idea! I could eat this all… For breakfast
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
That’s a good idea
i was thinking of having it as a after dinner dessert hehe
hehe I used to hate bread and butter pudding because I’ve never had a good one! but I love it now!!
hhahaha same here!!!!
glad i like them now hehe
What a wonderful dessert. Perfect for a cold winter’s night. It looks gorgeous Daisy and I love your photos. And I have great respect for those who can create recipes too – such a skill xx
Thank you Charlie
wasn’t sure how it’ll turn out, but I think it turned out better than my expectation yay hehe definitely respect those who can bake without a recipe ~
How funny, the only time I’ve made bread and butter pudding, I threw in some sauteed apples and cranberries too because normal bread and butter pudding doesn’t thrill me! I used rye bread, though, so it was quite hearty and not too sweet. Yours looks a little more decadent
hahaha nice
great mind sure think a like hehe ~ wow i’ve never thought of using rye bread but that’s a good idea hehe i wonder if sourdough will be too weird hehe
This looks great with the apples in it! I’m also not one for straying too far from the recipe! Nice work being creative
Thank you Ali
it’s my first time and I got help from an experienced blogger so I can’t take credit for the recipe hehe ~
That looks very comforting and tasty and I like the addition of apple to it!
It was definitely comforting Lorraine
Winter’s over now! But i’m really gonna miss eating these hearty, warm and comforting desserts ~
Apples in sweets, always a winner!!!
Couldn’t agree with you more
Apple and raisin bread sounds heavenly! Yum I’m hungry now
You’ve gotta try soon Kelly

Sounds like a great combination
Love apple pie and raisin toast so would be divine! I’m still a long way from creating my own recipes but you guys inspire me to do it one day 
Awwww you’re too kind Ames! I m still trying and learning by trial and error hehe
but its so encouraging hehe ~ thank you!

You’ve gotta make it soon then
Especially since it’s getting warm now ~ you wanna make it before it gets too hot hehe

i wish I could be more creative – I’m too scared to! haha
But you’re such a talented baker
I’m still learning hehe
Daisy:
this pudding recipe is a creative way to use bread to do something different
I also went to the blog you adapted the recipe from
I saw the”melting moment” you introduce to me
it’s really smilier to “yo- you biscuit”
wow, there are always so many new things for us to try, isn’t it?
Hi Joanna
definitely a new way to use staled bread ~ Lianne is a very talented baker and she shares lots of amazing recipes. Give it a try when you have time 
zomg this look amazeballs!! I’m feeling like a big ol bowl of it right now
You should make it next time you make apple pie
Yum! 2 of my favourite desserts rolled into one. One of the reasons I love baking is being able to express my creativity which I thought I had none of but I amaze myself sometimes with what I come up with in the kitchen! Mind you there are a few disasters along the way but when it works well, it feels really good
Couldn’t agree more Ros
it’s so nice to be able to make up my own recipes but I’m definitely a newbie and still have so much to learn 
and failures are a given but I’m happy to redo it until i get it right hehe ~
You may laugh at me, but I love bread and butter puddings, especially in a grey and cold winter afternoon! But I also like apple pie! You know in the UK, most of the Sunday dinner desserts only have a few popular choices, Bread and butter pudding and apple pie usually on the list! I always make sure we order different ones, so we could share ;p
Love your creation! Must taste so good
I didn’t know Bread and Butter Puddings and Apple Pie were so common in the UK
But i guess it’s where they were created hehe 
I’m glad you liked this recipe ~ do give it a go next time you want bread and butter pudding 
Looks really good girl!
Thank you:)
Nice work, Daisy! I’m yet to come up with a recipe of my own or a completely unique adaptation of an existing recipe, so I take my hat off to you
Looks delish! x
Thank you Ali
I’m trying to be more creative ~ and come up with other recipes but it’s definitely hard!
Ohh! This sounds like an easy recipe that I can handle! If you are a beginner baker then I must call myself something else! You are far more advanced than me and keep trying all new baking recipes. I’m inspired by you!! I agree, cookbook authors are not just authors – they are creative and very talented!
Oh no don’t say that Nami! I’m definitely a beginner and still learning as I bake many things for the first time
I bet you are a fantastic baker and even if you don’t think so, you are an AMAZING cook 
I wish i could cook as well as you hehe ~ I respect you more always blogging delicious and healthy home recipes!
