Apple Budino
Melina Storch
Cubed croissants make this a novel take on bread pudding. It is lighter tasting and less custardy than traditional versions, with a pleasant crunch on top, and goes well with ice cream. This is an easy way to bring together classic apple pie flavors and is a great use of leftover croissants.
