Sweet Melissa Sundays: Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Caramel Apple Raisin Sauce


I had my doubts as to how well this dessert would turn out (I’m not a huge bread pudding fan, and I feel like pumpkin should be reserved for fall desserts), but it was sinfully delicious! The caramel sauce and the cinnamon sugar topping made it really amazing. I did think the preparation of the custard took forever and got a lot of dishes dirty, and mine was still a little liquidy after the entire 1 hour 15 minute baking time. I would definitely use the caramel sauce and cinnamon sugar on a simpler bread pudding recipe, and I think the results would be just as good. I made one significant change to the recipe: I don’t like rum at all, so I substituted apple juice for the rum in the caramel sauce, and it was fantastic. It tasted like a Charms Caramel Apple Pop. Yum!

  1. Your bread pudding looks delicious! Great idea to use apple juice for the rum. I thought the recipe was more complicated than it needed to be.

  2. The pudding looks great in the little ramekins! Glad you were able to find a substitute for the rum. It’ll have to keep apple juice in mind as a substitute.

  3. Im glad you enjoyed the pudding. I made mine into two small ramekins too. I love the apple mixture also! Im glad I checked back today cus I came by yesterday and it wasn’t up yet:))

  4. Great photos! Your brad pudding looks wonderful! I’m not a big fan of bread pudding either so I did a rewind this week but since this recipe got such great reviews I might give it a go in the fall.
