Caramel Apple Bread Pudding
This Caramel Apple Bread Pudding is a sweet and savory casserole that can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert with a scoop of ice cream and caramel sundae sauce on top!
Ingredients
- 5 cups cubed bread
- 3 apples cored and chopped
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons apple pie spice plus additional
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and melt.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the apples, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of the apple pie spice.
- Once the butter is hot, add the apples and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, eggs, white sugar, vanilla extract and remaining 2 teaspoons apple pie spice.
- Stir together the bread crumbs and apples in a 9” x 16” casserole dish. Pour the heavy cream mixture over the bread crumbs and stir to combine. Top with additional apple pie spice, optional.
- Cover the casserole dish with tinfoil and bake for 30-45 minutes. Remove the tinfoil for the last 10 minutes of baking. (Bake for less time if you desire a “soggy” bread pudding.)
- Serve with ice cream and caramel sundae sauce.
Notes
For best results, let the bread dry out cut overnight, covered with tinfoil or plastic wrap. If you don’t have time to let the bread dry out, bake it for 10 minutes before proceeding with the recipe.
