Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (French or Brioche)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the apples soften and the mixture becomes fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cubed bread to the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat each piece of bread in the custard mixture. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Fold the cooked spiced apples into the bread and custard mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the bread pudding mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set (you can insert a knife in the middle—it should come out clean).
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Optionally, drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top just before serving.
