Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (white, brioche, or challah)
- 2 cups Applesauce (unsweetened or sweetened, as preferred)
- 4 Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the crock pot)
Instructions
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, applesauce, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined.
If desired, stir in the raisins for extra sweetness and texture.
Grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
Add the bread cubes into the crock pot, spreading them out evenly.
Pour the applesauce custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure all the bread is soaked in the liquid.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 3 hours, or until the pudding is set and the edges are golden.
Once finished cooking, turn off the crock pot and let the bread pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
