Crock Pot Apple Bread Pudding

If you don't care for raisins, just leave them out and use plain bread, or use the raisin bread and omit the extra raisins. You can also serve this with caramel sauce! Yum!

Bread Pudding

2 packets cinnamon roll instant oatmeal
3 eggs, beaten
3 cups milk, or 2 cups milk and 1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

In a blender, blend instant oatmeal into a fine powder. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, and slat. Fold in raisin bread, pie filling, raisins, and oatmeal powder until bread cubes are moist. Set aside for 30 minutes.

Spray a slow cooker with Pam cooking spray and add bread mixture. Cook on high for about 3 hours or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.

For sauce, combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Whisk together until thickened. Top each bread pudding serving with a dollop of sauce and serve.
