I brought it when I worked Bingo at church, where we sell sandwiches and desserts to the players. Everyone who tried it raved about it. The addition of the apples and the caramel topping were delicious. I gave the recipe four stars, however, because I also had difficulty with the sugar crystallizing when I added the butter and cream. I had questioned whether they should be added without warming them first, and next time I would melt the butter, mix the in the cream, and warm it before adding it to the sugar-water mixture. I was able to rescue the sauce by keeping the sauce on low heat and stirring occasionally, and most of the crystallized ball of sugar melted into the mixture, and the caramel sauce got thicker and richer.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-08-12","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenButterfly"},"reviewBody":"Easy to make and has the seal of approval from the family!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-11-21","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GoldFlower"},"reviewBody":"So good!

I was so disappointed in this bread pudding. It is so sweet, way too much sugar. I should have known better. Now I have a whole dish of bread pudding that we can't eat.<\/p>","CommentId":2,"DateRated":"","GUID":"a44fdc903fc6442e94643bd11d6c06e7","MemberId":7654719,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"Meb3","SubmittedDate":"02\/05\/2014 00:32"},{"Comment":"

"Your bread pudding is to die for!"...."This is the best bread pudding I've ever had" are just 2 of the compliments I received after fixing this for our Thanksgiving buffet. I've been asked to bring this to our Christmas Eve buffet as well! The caramel sauce seemed more like a vanilla flavor than caramel but it was still delicious. This one goes in my keeper file. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.<\/p>","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"11\/30\/2013 09:54","GUID":"D51E352C21C8499ABF22240B84710FF2","MemberId":245187,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Angel_Food","SubmittedDate":"11\/30\/2013 09:53"},{"Comment":"

So good! Will definitely make this again! Didn't have any raisins so I left them out but it was still so yummy!<\/p>","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"","GUID":"34581738b34f46a79d6c56ac5ecb62b6","MemberId":7499169,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"terrilu50","SubmittedDate":"11\/21\/2013 19:46"},{"Comment":"

Delicious. I will definitely make this again and again. I did substitute the raisins for dried cherries because that is what I had on hand and I also used Splenda Blend instead of regular white sugar. I also made the caramel sauce with Splenda Brown Sugar Blend since my Dad and two sisters are diabetics.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"","GUID":"0fc91a4334de4b059698681ccfedb196","MemberId":7119369,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ReneeMurby","SubmittedDate":"10\/26\/2013 17:08"},{"Comment":"

I thought this bread pudding was outstanding, and I am not typically a big fan of bread pudding. I brought it when I worked Bingo at church, where we sell sandwiches and desserts to the players. Everyone who tried it raved about it. The addition of the apples and the caramel topping were delicious. I gave the recipe four stars, however, because I also had difficulty with the sugar crystallizing when I added the butter and cream. I had questioned whether they should be added without warming them first, and next time I would melt the butter, mix the in the cream, and warm it before adding it to the sugar-water mixture. I was able to rescue the sauce by keeping the sauce on low heat and stirring occasionally, and most of the crystallized ball of sugar melted into the mixture, and the caramel sauce got thicker and richer.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"","GUID":"e33ee7e3b19e4471a72da389533417b8","MemberId":1915904,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"becky66","SubmittedDate":"10\/20\/2013 22:44"},{"Comment":"

This was the worst caramel sauce recipe I ever made. It doesn't work. Color never turned amber and the sugar dried up and crystallized. I made my own caramel sauce from another dessert recipe I have. Also way too much sugar in this recipe and it isn't necessary. 4 cups, really? I only used 1 cup with the apples, 1 cup with the egg\/milk mixture and didn't sprinkle any on top. The bread pudding itself was okay.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"","GUID":"79040df1780c4920854e003615e932b7","MemberId":1433384,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"Kools01","SubmittedDate":"10\/20\/2013 20:19"},{"Comment":"

I like the addition of the apples and carmel sauce to this bread pudding recipe. It's delicious! If you haven't made caramel sauce before I'd suggest using quality store-bought because the process can go wrong quickly, but you can't beat the flavor of homemade caramel.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"","GUID":"110b176dc0744615bb8c3d7bb6981a0f","MemberId":7117971,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"CatMurphy","SubmittedDate":"10\/14\/2013 17:19"},{"Comment":"

This recipe was delicious. I used fresh Asian Pears instead of the apples, and Ciabatta bread instead of French bread.

I made this recipe. It wa okay, but probably will go back to my stand by bread pudding recipe.

Bread pudding was just so-so.
