Sweet-Tart with cheesecake texture/sourdough bread pudding all-in-one! Honey-crisp apples and fresh cranberries inspired me to bake a bread pudding, with a touch of real maple syrup. It's comfort food for this February day, when we are expecting a blizzard in New England.

How To Make cranapple ricotta pudding

  • Step 1
