One rainy afternoon, while exploring my mom’s kitchen, I discovered a worn, yellowed index card hidden away inside an old recipe box. The handwriting was unmistakable—delicate cursive, smudged here and there with flour and butter. The title read: Grandma’s Caramel Apple Bread Pudding. Instantly, I was transported back to her cozy kitchen—the comforting aroma of cinnamon in the air, the gentle warmth of the oven, and the joy of licking the batter from the spoon.
Today, I’m excited to share this rediscovered family treasure. A recipe that once gathered my entire family around the table, eager and wide-eyed. Now, you can recreate this delicious memory step by step.
