Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Prepare a 1-1/2 quart baking dish by spraying it generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread, raisins, and thinly sliced apples. Toss gently to mix them evenly.
4
In a separate bowl, mix the hot skim milk with the brown sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. Pour this mixture over the bread, raisins, and apples. Stir gently to ensure all the bread cubes are soaked.
5
Allow the combined mixture to sit for 20 to 30 minutes, giving the bread a chance to absorb the liquid.
6
While the bread mixture is soaking, beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until they become foamy and hold soft peaks.
7
Add the vanilla extract and cinnamon to the foamed egg whites, and gently fold to combine.
8
Pour the egg mixture over the bread mixture in the baking dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
9
Bake the pudding uncovered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is lightly browned and the pudding is set in the center.

Let it cool slightly before serving, or you can enjoy it warm or chilled as desired.
