For the first month of apple season, we enjoyed Ginger Gold apples, but as with any type of produce, their season ended.  When I went to the orchard last week, I needed to choose a new variety for our house.  Looking for an apple that was a nice mix of sweet and tart, I chose Jonagolds.

On this past Monday, instead of making our typical tapas dinner, I made a two-course dinner.  We started our late night meal with braised lamb and cauliflower.  Enjoyed with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and candlelight, it was a wonderful way to relax.  After dinner, we moved onto coffee and apple bread pudding.   Although we aren’t huge fans of dessert, it seemed like a good night for a little indulgence.  Why not celebrate Columbus Day with some panache?

Warm from the oven and topped with whipped cream, we enjoyed this dessert.  I purposely made enough to provide leftovers, which the kids enjoyed the next day.  They, too, ate it warm with whipped cream, though I could imagine that it would be indulgently good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
