Ingredients
For the Bread Pudding:
- 5 cups day-old bread, cubed (such as challah or brioche)
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Place the cubed bread and chopped apples in the prepared baking dish, and gently toss to combine.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour this mixture over the bread and apples, pressing down lightly to ensure everything is soaked.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to make the topping. Sprinkle this evenly over the bread pudding.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the Apple Bread Pudding warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
