A delightful twist on a classic dessert, this Cinnamon Raisin Biscuit Pudding combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon and raisins with a rich, creamy texture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to maintain even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled biscuits, milk, melted butter, eggs, sugar, nutmeg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, raisins, and grated apple. Mix until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the biscuits too much, ensuring a good texture.
Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes to allow the biscuits to absorb the liquid.
This resting time is crucial for the biscuits to soak up the flavors.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
Grease the dish well to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Check the pudding halfway through to ensure even baking.
Combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle it evenly over the partially baked pudding.
Sprinkle the topping evenly for a consistent flavor.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding is set.
A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when done.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
