Bread pudding is an old and simple comfort-food classic, enjoyed in many parts of this country. This Southern version features rich, crunchy pecans to complement the roasted apples and raisin bread. Simple to prepare, this dish is ready in 40 minutes and perfectly paired with a spoon of vanilla ice-cream. Kids and adults will delight in the warmth in each bite, ideal for cold winter nights. Though typically rustic in appearance, bread pudding makes a wonderful dessert during the holidays, especially baked in a fancy dish. If you have time, cut up the bread, spread it on a baking sheet, and let it stand on a countertop, uncovered, overnight. The stale bread will be drier and better able to absorb the milk mixture, giving the baked pudding a firmer texture.
