     Title: Abraham Lincoln's Apple Bread Pudding w/Cream Sauce
Categories: Fruits, Citrus, Breads, Dairy
     Yield: 12 Servings

    12 sm Pippin baking apples
     1 lg Lemon; juice of
     1 ts Lemon zest
     1 ts Nutmeg
   1/4 c  Unsalted butter; more for
          - greasing
 1 1/4 c  Brown sugar
     1 c  Bread crumbs

MMMMM------------------------CREAM SAUCE-----------------------------
     1 pt Heavy whipping cream
   1/4 c  Powdered sugar
     1 ts Nutmeg
     1 ts Almond extract

 Oven at 350 F/175 C.

 Peel and core the apples, then slice them very thin.
 Place the slices in a large mixing bowl. Pour lemon
 juice and lemon zest over the apples along with the
 nutmeg. Toss the apples with a spatula till evenly
 coated by the lemon juice, zest, and nutmeg.

 Chop the unsalted butter into several very small chunks.

 Grease a 9x13" baking dish with unsalted butter.
 Create a single thick layer of apple slices on the
 bottom of the dish, covering the entire surface with
 apples.

 Sprinkle a generous layer of brown sugar on top of the
 apples.

 Dot a few bits of butter across the top of the sugar.

 Sprinkle a thin layer of bread crumbs on top of the
 butter.

 Repeat this process of layering--apple slices, brown
 sugar, butter, and bread crumbs--until the dish is
 full. Finish the dish with a thin layer of bread crumbs.

 Bake the pudding uncovered for 50-60 minutes until the
 edges brown, the pudding is cooked through, and the
 apples are soft. Serve warm topped with cream sauce, if
 desired.

 HOW TO MAKE CREAM SAUCE: Pour heavy whipping cream into
 a small pot and warm slowly over medium heat, whisking
 occasionally as it warms.

 When cream begins to boil, whisk in powdered sugar,
 nutmeg, and almond extract.

 Remove from heat. Strain the sauce through a mesh
 strainer or sieve into a serving dish.

 Serve warm sauce over hot slices of Apple Bread Pudding.
 This is not a thick sauce, and it will need to be
 stirred from time to time to keep a skin from forming on
 the surface. Best if served immediately.
