About
Classic bread pudding takes leftover bread and transforms it into a sweet, creamy, and pillowy-soft dessert. Classic apple pie features tart, fruity apples in cinnamon spices. Both are beloved treats... so why not combine them into something even more delicious? Apple Pie Bread Pudding has the richness of bread pudding and the spiced autumn flavor of apple pie in every bite! When topped with a smooth maple cream sauce, you'll keep finding excuses to make Apple Pie Bread Pudding over and over again!
Ingredients
- For the bread pudding:
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 10 regular-sized hamburger buns and/or hot dog buns, cut into cubes
- For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract, plus more, to taste
- salt, to taste
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Then lightly grease a 9x11-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2 -In a large bowl combine the 1 1/2 cups of the sugar, the milk, and the eggs, whisking together until smooth.
Step 3 -Add the vanilla extract, 1 stick of the melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt, and the cinnamon and mix to combine.
Step 4 -Add half of the bread cubes to the egg mixture and press them down until submerged. Then, add the other half of the bread cubes, gently pressing down to lightly moisten.
Step 5 -Spoon half of the moistened bread cubes into the prepared pan, then top with half of the apple slices.
Step 6 -Repeat this layering with the remaining bread cubes and the remaining apple slices.
Step 7 -Place the pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour until the bread pudding is slightly crispy on the top and lightly browned.
Step 8 -In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining sugar, the heavy cream, the remaining melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of the maple extract, and the remaining salt.
Step 9 -Bring the sauce mixture to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat. For 5-10 minutes, allow the sauce to gently boil until reduced slightly.
Step 10 -Taste and adjust with the extra maple extract and the salt as desired.
Step 11 -Remove the bread pudding from the oven and drizzle it with the maple-cream sauce.
Step 12 -Serve warm!
