Ingredients

• 6 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (French or Brioche)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the apples soften and the mixture becomes fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Add the cubed bread to the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat each piece of bread in the custard mixture. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Fold the cooked spiced apples into the bread and custard mixture.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the bread pudding mixture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set (you can insert a knife in the middle—it should come out clean).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Optionally, drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top just before serving.
