Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf stale French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium apples (like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped apples over the bread cubes.
  5. Slowly pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and apples. Gently press down on the bread so it soaks up the liquid.
  6. Drizzle half of the 1/2 cup caramel sauce over the top of the bread pudding.
  7. Let the bread pudding stand for 20 minutes to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard.
  8. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  10. Just before serving, drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce or extra caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Stale bread works best for absorbing the custard without becoming too mushy.
  • You can substitute half and half for the heavy cream for a slightly lighter texture.
  • For extra flavor, toss the apples with one tablespoon of granulated sugar before adding them to the dish.
