I served this to 24 people (increased the amounts of course). Everyone had seconds and love it. However, I substituted peach schnapps instead of whiskey and added some peach schnapps to the pudding and reduced the milk accordingly. Just wonderful!

Good stuff! I made a few changes like used 5 peaches, 1 apple, and a handful of raisins. I cut out 1/4 cup of the milk, I substituted half the sugar for Splenda, and I used lemon sauce instead of Whiskey sauce. It shows how versatile this recipe is...it turned out delicious.

I had to make a couple of modifications, as I was making this the same day I needed to serve it. I diced the bread, then spread it on baking sheets and toasted it in the oven at 300* for about 10-15 minutes. I used peaches from a jar, because they are not in season in my area. I cooked the apples in a pot on low for about 15 minutes with a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. I also used half-and-half on the recommendation of another reviewer. The whiskey sauce is the crowning glory of this recipe. It is well-balanced, delicious, and great also on apple crisp! The recipe was easy to follow and I received glowing compliments on the dish. This is a wonderful alternate to pie this holiday season.

The whiskey sauce alone is worth making this recipe. I want to put it on everything. It would be insanely delicious on pancakes and/or waffles, methinks. Otherwise, the bread pudding was terrific as well. It's a simple recipe and quick to prepare. This is a hit. Thank you.

This bread pudding is REALLY good. With my cajun heritage and many travels to Louisianna, I've had a chance to taste the best. This ranks among the best I've tasted. Substitute milk for heavy cream or half & half for a richer pudding.

This was pretty good! I did think that the flavor was a little eggy and it was a little to soggy for me...maybe next time I will take out one egg.

I gave this 5 stars even though I didn't thing it was outstanding. Now the sauce was outstanding and this made the dessert!!! I made this for x-mas, and everyone seemed to enjoy it, but I think I'll keep searching for another bread pudding. Please note that I used half a challah bread (10-12 oz), and it fit perfectly in the 9 x 13 pan.

This recipe is *fabulous*!!! I made it for a dinner party, and my guests could not stop raving about it. Also, the recipe can be made "healthier" without sacrificing the taste by substituting the butter for a low-fat butter substitute and the sugar with a sugar substitute. I've made both versions and cannot tell the difference between the two.

Excellent and easy recipe to make. I followed the other users suggestions and I made only half the sauce. For me, certainly plenty - but definitely easy enough to make a second half batch with the leftovers (if there are any!) if we need it. I too used canned peaches and only half the apples since we only had 2 left - but it was my first try making bread pudding and sure won't be my last. Thanks Suzanne!

Consider cutting the sauce in 1/4 unless you like your pudding literally swimming in it. I think I only used about 1/4 cup for the entire pudding...

Fixed this recipe for a Mardi Gras party and it was a big hit. Works fine with canned peaches as well. Also used brown sugar in the sauce for extra flavor.
