A cozy and comforting apple bread pudding made with cinnamon-raisin bread, tender apples, and a rich spiced custard. Perfect for fall brunches, holidays, or a warm dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large apples, peeled and sliced (preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or light brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 cups cubed cinnamon-raisin bread (day-old or slightly dried)
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
  2. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and sauté for 8–10 minutes until lightly browned and tender. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
  4. Add the cubed cinnamon-raisin bread to the custard mixture. Let it soak for about 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
  5. Stir the sautéed apples into the soaked bread mixture gently.
  6. Sprinkle half the turbinado sugar over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the dish and spread evenly.
  7. Top with the remaining turbinado sugar for a crunchy crust.
  8. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and the center is just set.
  9. Allow the pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for best texture.
  • Let the bread sit out to dry slightly before using.
  • Turbinado sugar adds a crunchy topping; substitute with brown sugar if needed.
  • Serve with apple brandy crème anglaise or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight before baking.
