Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

• 4 cups soft bread cubes
• 2 cups peeled and sliced apples
• cup raisins
• 1 cups milk
• 1 cup brown sugar
• cup butter
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla Sauce:

• cup milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and grease a 7x11-inch baking dish.

Step 2: To make the bread pudding, combine the bread cubes, sliced apples, and raisins in a large bowl.

Step 3: In a small saucepan, combine the milk, brown sugar, and butter. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring until the butter is melted.

Step 4: Pour the milk mixture over the bread mixture in the bowl. Stir until the bread is evenly coated.

Step 5: Transfer the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Pour this egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture in the baking dish.

Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the center is set and the apples are tender.

Step 8: While the bread pudding is baking, make the vanilla sauce. In a saucepan, combine the milk, butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 9: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 10: Serve the warm vanilla sauce over the bread pudding.

Cook's Note

I like to use rich breads like brioche, challah, or sourdough, especially if they are a day-old or toasted. You can also experiment with other spices in the custard mixture, such as nutmeg, allspice, or pumpkin pie spice.
