ENGLISH TOFFEE APPLE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
Just in time for autumn and Halloween - this delicious pudding is a real winner, with the subtle taste of toffee and apples all cooked together in a bread and butter pudding! I found this recipe in a cookery leaflet promoting English apples, and it is now one of our favourite puddings for the cooler months. I have given a variety of breads/yeast cakes to use; although I have made this with all of the choices on offer, my favourite still remains the brioche - I am sure croissants would work very well too.

ENGLISH TOFFEE APPLE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
If you must replace Muscovado sugar in a recipe which calls for it, use the most dark, coarse brown sugar you can find, and add some molasses to it to make it sticky and to enhance the flavor.

Tips:
- Use stale bread for a better texture. Fresh bread will absorb too much custard and become soggy.
- If you don't have any stale bread, you can toast fresh bread and then let it cool before using it.
- Use a variety of breads for a more interesting flavor and texture. Try using a combination of white bread, whole wheat bread, and sourdough bread.
- Don't oversoak the bread in the custard. The bread should be just moist, not soggy.
- Bake the bread and butter pudding in a water bath to prevent the top from getting too brown.
- Serve the bread and butter pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
