Tips:

  • Use Fresh Apples: Fresh apples are key to achieving the best flavor and texture in your apple crisp bread pudding. Choose firm, sweet-tart varieties like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady.
  • Slice Apples Thinly: Thinly sliced apples will cook more evenly and absorb the bread custard better. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough bread pudding. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Loaf Pan: A 9x5 inch loaf pan is the ideal size for this recipe. If you use a larger pan, the bread pudding will be too thin and may not cook evenly.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the bread pudding until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Serve Warm or Cold: Apple crisp bread pudding can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. If you're serving it cold, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Conclusion:

Apple crisp bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its combination of soft, custardy bread, sweet apples, and crunchy oats, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying dish, give apple crisp bread pudding a try!
