How to Make Apple And Spice Bread Pudding

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a shallow 1 ½-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups cubed stale bread, 2 cups peeled and diced apples, and ½ cup raisins.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups milk, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg until the sugar is dissolved.
4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and apple mixture, gently stirring to combine. Ensure all the bread is moistened.
5. Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
8. (Optional) Cinnamon Sauce: In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together ¼ cup light corn syrup and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
9. (Optional) Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until warm and slightly thickened. Stir well and drizzle over the bread pudding before serving.
