I prepared this for the first time yesterday. WOW what a lot of product used! Anyway, DH and myself were OK with the recipe. I really like Bread Pudding and am not a fan of fruit in it. But, my DH suggested using apples! Thought it sounded really good. Could use apple juice instead of the juice from the orange, not sure about apple zest? On top I could sprinkle the Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkles. I think I will try it this week.
