I am a baker, I have always been my interest in cooking sweets, since I began to cook anything. Bread puddings were our favorites because they are cheap and we had most of the ingredients in the pantry or fridge. I class Apple Betty and Blueberry Betty as bread puddings/ crumbles.
For years my poor old dad had to endure my baking inventions because he was my “tester” I would make something and by his expression I could tell if it was delicious or gross even before he spoke. I had just as many successful desserts as I did failures.

Thats is just two types of bread pudding or crumbles I leaned to make without milk or eggs. However I do think the classic bread pudding will always be my all time favorite as it was for my dad too.

Pics smell like a autumn and september. When I look through my window, that is true.
Blueberries are in season now and we can always get apples here.Maybe you`ll love these desserts.
In our crops the right of harvest begins in August or September. Blueberries in late summer. Southeast Europe.
Oh, okay. Now that makes sense.
