Apple Bread Pudding

This is a basic bread pudding
that I don't add sugar to and serve
this for a brunch or light lunch.
It rises about two inches while baking
and will deflate as it cools.
Tastes great along with a scoop of ice cream
this is a real comforting crowd pleaser.

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
1/4 cup flour
9 slices white bread
2 apples
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar

Directions:
Grease and flour a baking dish.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut bread into cubes and place
in the prepared baking dish.
Peel and cut apples into small dice
and place on top of bread cubes.
In a mixing bowl combine eggs,
milk and vanilla extract.
Pour over apples and bread cubes.
Let rest for two mintutes and then
press down with your hands.
Sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar,
cover and bake for about 1 hour.
Remove to slighty cool before serving.
