Recipe Review

13th December 2010

Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

This recipe took a lot of time to put together, and the result was very dry. This recipe requires having peasant-type bread, day old, that you butter, line a custard dish, fill with roasted applesauce, and bake. I think its more appropriate to a restaurant, where day old bread might be a common thing.

Between the old dry bread, baked, and the dry applesauce, this desert really needed something wet on it - like a scoop of ice cream. If your roasted applesauce is wetter - maybe because you've used a moister apple, or live somewhere with a less dry climate, yours might turn out better.

The write up says that you should have caramelized spots, where the applesauce bled through the bread. Unfortunately, this applesauce wasn't going anywhere! I won't bother with this recipe again.
