Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding

A couple of weeks ago my husband and I stayed at the Henderson Park Inn in Destin, Florida for our 10 year anniversary. While there we had an amazing dinner and an even better dessert. The dessert was a bread pudding made with Krispy Kreme donuts. It had a subtle apple flavor and a delicious caramel sauce.

When we got home I knew I had to try and recreate it. This is what I came up with and it was SO good! Just a little note on preference... I am not a huge fan of bread pudding and prefer it to be a little crispier. My husband likes it to be softer. So, if you are like me, drizzle the sauce on top once it is served on your plate. If you are like my husband, pour the sauce directly on top of the bread pudding after removing it from the oven and let it soak in before serving. Either way, make sure you top it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
8 Krispy Kreme donuts, cut into sixths

4 TBSP butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup apple juice

Mix sweetened condensed milk through cinnamon. Place donuts in large bowl and mix in wet ingredeients. Let sit for 15 minutes so the liquid can be absorbed.

Grease a 9" pie plate and fill with donuts. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

For sauce, melt butter and brown sugar together. While stirring constantly, add cream, corn syrup, and apple juice. Boil until slightly thickened. Drizzle or pour over bread pudding.
