Apple Bread Pudding

Fall in the Willamette Valley is amazing! Beautiful weather with temperatures slowly cooling down, trees covered in the colors of Autumn and leaves crunching under our feet as we walk around the neighborhood. And, a plethora of places to pick (say that five times fast) apples, plums, pears, tomatoes and really every kind of fruit or vegetable your heart may desire.

The other day my daughter and I met my dad at one of my parent’s favorite farms and we picked and picked to our heart’s content…okay…actually we picked until we were too hot and sweaty to want to pick anymore but we still came away with a wonderful variety of apples and pears and even some beautiful zinnias.

Labor Day was that weekend and I needed something to bring to our family gathering so I decided to put those apples to good use and combine them with one of my most favorite desserts of all time. Bread pudding!

Apple Bread Pudding

Ingredients

  • 6 slices of day old bread (french, sourdough or even brioche works great)
  • 2 cups of heavy cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • For the apples:
  • 3 peeled and chopped apples of a tart variety
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour (or corn starch)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Cut bread into cubes and place in a greased 8 1/2 x 11 baking dish
  • Whisk together in a bowl the eggs, cream, vanilla, rum, cinnamon and nutmeg and then pour it over the bread cubes. In a separate bowl, mix together the apples, brown sugar and flour/corn starch. Pour the apple mixture on top of the bread mixture making sure to spread the apples evenly across every part of the bread mixture.
  • Bake for 45 minutes. Enjoy!

This apple bread pudding was just the perfect way to start the transition from summer to fall by blending together all of the best of both seasons in one yummy dish!

Now, if you know anything about the Willamette Valley and have been watching the news lately, you are aware of just how much of Oregon has been on fire. Friends, it’s been devastating. We are truly heartbroken by the loss of land, property and, most importantly, the loss of lives. Here in the valley we have been surrounded by fires but our city has, thankfully, not had to evacuate but many have in the surrounding areas and the Detroit Lake area, where we spend time each summer, has been almost completely wiped out. Our hearts ache for all of those affected and we continue to have very thick smoke right outside our doors. If you think of it, would you be praying for everyone along the west coast who is being impacted by the fires and for all of the first responders who are doing everything they can to save as much as they can.

I’m so grateful for this community and that I know I can come to you with prayer requests like this!

Many blessings to you dear ones,

Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.”.
.
When I was a little girl we took a trip to Silver Dollar City theme park in Branson, MO. One of the attractions there is the Marvel Cave. The whole theme park was actually built right around the cave! I will never forget the feeling of descending into the darkness. We had to walk down a steep, narrow path and I could feel the rocky walls beginning to close in on me. From time to time, our guide would even have to call out for us to duck our heads so as not to whack them on rocks that were jutting out. And just when it felt like we had been walking forever; just when it felt the most narrow and the most dark; just when we were starting to get really weary from navigating this path, we turned the corner and found ourselves awestruck as we gazed at this enormous room. Everywhere we looked there were stalactites and stalagmites. Lights had been installed and they reflected off of these formations creating the most beautiful colors on the walls. There were pools of water in a shade of aquamarine I had never seen before and waterfalls flowing from upper levels. That long, winding, damp trek had been so very worth it. The descent into darkness had revealed light…and life!

My prayer for you friends, is that you will look at that narrow path with the small gate as an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to experience the kind of freedom that our souls are longing for. The wide and broad path of the world promises us a freedom that is fleeting and temporary. But at the end of the narrow path, there is hope and peace and life everlasting.

I’m choosing the narrow path. And in spite of the hardships, in spite of the challenges and the fears and the times that can feel as dark as the journey down into a cave, I wouldn’t trade a single minute of it.

I can’t properly express how much joy it gives m I can’t properly express how much joy it gives me to know that my family loves being home. After a weeklong vacation, we all feel so happy to be back in our haven. As a homemaker in the truest sense of the word (the maker of a home), knowing my husband and children consider this the place where they feel the most relaxed and at peace means all of my intentions and efforts in this area are worthwhile. It’s not perfect and WE are not perfect by a long stretch. But, it’s where we feel the most free to be imperfect. And that makes it pretty wonderful! 🌱

It’s been the weirdest summer so far here in the It’s been the weirdest summer so far here in the Willamette Valley! Extreme rain and cooler temperatures followed by extreme heat then back to cloudy and rainy. But the silver lining is that when the sun finally does reappear we definitely don’t take it for granted.

Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to sha Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to share all of the details of our family room shelving makeover but I’m super impatient and just had to give you all a sneak peek!! We are SO happy with how they turned out and it finally looks like I’ve always envisioned. Our quick fix years ago (scroll to see the before photo) never felt quite right but now? Soooo much better!! 🙌🏻 Big shoutout to our amazingly talented friend Matt @redemptive_woodworx for bringing our vision to life and doing such impeccable work.

I hope you all have a great start to the 4th of July weekend and make sure to check my stories later for Friday Funnies!
“Summer breeze, makes me feel fine. Blowing thro “Summer breeze, makes me feel fine. Blowing through the jasmine in my mind.” Nothing captures the aroma of summer for me quite like jasmine. With my windows open, the whole house is naturally scented and it’s one of my favorite parts of the season.
The month of June is coming to a close and it has The month of June is coming to a close and it has been JAM packed! The highlight by far though was my son's graduation from high school. When I started blogging, he was only 6 years old and some of you have been apart of my community here for that entire time. Now, he's 19 and there is a reason parents are told not to blink because the years truly do go faster than I ever could have imagined. He has become such an incredible young man we are so excited to see how God is going to unfold the next chapter of his life. We celebrated with parties galore (SO many open houses to attend!) and made memories we'll forever cherish. My mama heart was filled to bursting with the joy of it all! Now we're taking some time to just enjoy these warm, summer days making even more memories because, when you’re at this stage of parenting, you know all too well how much you need to grasp every opportunity to spend time together.

I hope your summer is off to a great start too dear friends! 🪴

Happy first day of summer dear friends!! I can’t believe it’s been so long since I posted something new here but life has been crazy. I’ll have some new photos of house projects and life events to share with you soon but, got now, I’m just going to enjoy this gorgeous first day of summer after our ridiculously long, wet spring. ☀️
