Apple and Rye Bread Pudding

==Ingredients==
* 5½ cups cubed fresh or stale sourdough, wheat, or rye bread
* ½ cup raisins
* 1 tbsp caraway seeds or anise seeds
* 5 cups diced apples
* ½ cup apple butter
* 1 tbsp sunflower butter or tahini
* 1 cup water
* 2 tbsp mellow or sweet miso
* 2 cup amazake beverage (original) or vanilla soy milk
==Directions==
# Cube bread and toss in a large bowl with raisins and caraway seeds.
# Stale bread may be used instead of fresh.
# Toss apples in a bowl with bread cubes.
# Combine apple and sunflower butter (or tahini), 1 cup water, miso, amazake or soy milk, then pour liquid mixture over apples and bread.
# Stir to coat.
# Spoon mixture into a lightly oiled 2-quart casserole dish or two 9-inch pie plates or cake pans.
# Cover with lid (oven-proof).
# Allow mixture to sit for 2 to 4 hours before baking so bread will soak up flavors.
# Bake covered at 350 °F for 1 hour or until slightly firm and mixture pulls away from sides slightly.
# Then remove from oven and spoon into individual dessert cups, an ice cream scooper works well.
# Allow to cool slightly and then serve.
