It is all about the crust…
The Smolak Farms bakers take their jobs very seriously! That is why we have developed a pie crust recipe (sorry folks, we will not share) that we feel is one of the very best. Our challenge was to find something that could be made in bulk (yes, we make thousands of pies each year) and that would still maintain a fresh flavor and flaky consistency. We believe we have accomplished that task – but you can judge for yourself!

Cider Donut Apple Crisp Muffin/Bread Pudding Recipe
Bread Pudding:
|
Crumb Topping:
|
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter the cups of 2 large muffin pans. (You will need 12 muffin cups.) Set aside.
Gently simmer the raisins and brandy in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and set aside. Peel, core and cut the apples into 1-inch chunks. Add them to a small bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Set aside.
In large bowl, whisk the eggs, half-and-half, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, and melted butter until combined. Cut the donuts into 1-inch pieces. Add the donuts to the bowl with the egg mixture. Press the donuts down into the liquid to cover completely and let soak for 15 minutes while you prepare the crumb topping.
To make the crumb topping. Add the flour, brown sugar, salt, oats, and butter to a small bowl. Using an electric mixer, on medium-low speed, beat the mixture until crumbly. Set aside.
Stir the apples and the raisins with the brandy into the soaked donuts. (Make sure the donuts have soaked up most of the liquid before adding the apples.) Evenly divide the custard among the muffin cups. Sprinkle each custard with the crumb topping. Put the muffin pans on foil-lined baking sheets and bake until the pudding has turned golden and is set, about 35 minutes. Remove the puddings from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Can be served alone as a breakfast item or add some ice cream for dessert!
