Ingredients

3/4 cup fresh ricotta, for topping

1/2 cup sherry vinegar

2 tbsp sugar

1/3 cup heavy cream

1 tsp salt

1 egg yolk

1 cup milk

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

4 cups ciabatta bread, diced

2 tbsp butter, for cooking the bread

2 tbsp butter, divided

2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced

2 tsp sugar

Preparation

Place vinegar and sugar in a small pot over medium heat. Let reduce until syrupy.

Carefully whisk in cream and let reduce until caramel-like in thickness. Season with salt.

Whisk together all the bread pudding ingredients (except the bread and butter).

Add in the bread and let sit for 5 minutes.

Heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add in apples and saute until almost soft.

Mix in the sugar and set aside.

Heat the butter for the bread pudding over high heat in a large non-stick saute pan. Add in bread and cook until lightly crisp and brown.

Spoon the bread onto a serving platter. Top with apples and ricotta and drizzle with caramel before serving.
