EatingWell: Spice up your Thanksgiving table
This silky apple dessert recipe -- a spiced apple bread pudding made with apple cider in place of the usual custard -- gets a double hit of apple flavor from both the cider and plenty of sliced tart apples. Mace, the lacy red spice that coats the nutmeg fruit, adds a particularly lovely floral note; but you can substitute nutmeg if you don't have any mace on hand.
