Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 3 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled and diced)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add the caramelized apples and toss gently to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread and apples, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
