Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups white sugar
¼ cup rum
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup white sugar
½ cup water
½ teaspoon vinegar
¼ cup water
¼ cup butter

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in milk, cream, 1 1/2 cup sugar, rum, vanilla extract, and salt until mixture is thoroughly combined. Gently stir bread cubes into the egg mixture to coat. Let bread soak until the egg mixture has been absorbed, about 1 hour; stir occasionally.
  • Dissolve 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water and vinegar in a heavy saucepan. Place over high heat and cook without stirring until the sugar mixture is dark amber in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until it stops bubbling. Gradually stir 1/4 cup water into the syrup, about 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until water is incorporated.
  • Pour warm sauce into a 9x9-inch baking pan and swirl the pan so the caramel sauce coats the bottom and sides of the pan. Let caramel sauce set, about 15 minutes. Coat inside of baking dish and caramel layer with butter. Transfer soaked bread cubes and any remaining liquid into the baking dish over caramel sauce and gently press bread cubes together. Cover pan with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place baking pan into a large roasting pan and pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the middle of the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside of the pan and invert pudding and caramel sauce onto a serving platter.

Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 cups cubed day-old French bread
2 medium apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
½ cup dark raisins
4 large eggs
1 cup light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups whole milk
1 cup apple cider
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup butter
¼ cup bourbon
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine bread cubes, apples, and raisins in a very large bowl.
  • Whisk eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt together in another large bowl until well combined. Whisk in milk and apple cider. Pour mixture over bread mixture, and toss gently using a spatula until evenly coated. Let bread pudding mixture stand for 15 minutes.
  • Pour bread pudding mixture into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and lightly browned and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Let bread pudding cool for at least 15 minutes; pudding will sink slightly.
  • Meanwhile, spread pecans on a baking sheet. Bake in the hot oven until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, and butter in a large, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until mixture is reduced to 3 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. Stir in pecans, bourbon, and vanilla extract.
  • Serve sauce with bread pudding.

Tips

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • If you don't have any stale bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until it is dry and crispy.
  • Be sure to whisk the eggs and milk together thoroughly before adding them to the bread mixture. This will help to ensure that the bread pudding is evenly cooked.
  • If you want a richer bread pudding, you can add a cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the mixture.
  • Be sure to let the bread pudding rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the bread pudding to set.

Conclusion

Apple bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up stale bread and leftover apples, and it can be customized to your own liking. Whether you like it simple or loaded with nuts and spices, apple bread pudding is sure to be a hit.
