Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (white, brioche, or challah)
- 2 cups Applesauce (unsweetened or sweetened, as preferred)
- 4 Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the crock pot)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, applesauce, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined.
Step 3
If desired, stir in the raisins for extra sweetness and texture.
Step 4
Grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Add the bread cubes into the crock pot, spreading them out evenly.
Step 6
Pour the applesauce custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure all the bread is soaked in the liquid.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 3 hours, or until the pudding is set and the edges are golden.
Step 8
Once finished cooking, turn off the crock pot and let the bread pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
