Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish.

Ingredients

For the Bread Pudding

  • 6 cups of stale bread, cubed (preferably brioche or, challah, or frech bread)
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Caramel Sauce

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (option)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the Bread Pudding

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  • Spread the cubed bread evenly in the dish. Scatter the diced apples over the bread.
  • Pour the mixture evenly over the bread and apples, pressing down gently to ensure the bread absorbs the liquid.
  • Let it sit for about 15 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the mixture.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes until the pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes clean.

Make the Caramel Sauce

  • Gather all the ingredients and mix them in a small or medium saucepan.
  • Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and loses its watery consistency (6-9 minutes). It will thicken more as it cools.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  • Let the caramel sauce cool slightly before drizzling over the bread pudding.

Serve

  • Serve warm apple bread pudding, topped with a generous drizzle of caramel sauce. Feel free to experiment with different toppings or add a scoop of your favorite ice cream or a whipped cream dollop to create your unique dessert.
