How to Make Apple Bread Pudding

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Butter a 5-cup ovenproof dish.
3. Peel and thinly slice 3 medium apples (about 3 cups).
4. Place the apple slices in the bottom of the prepared dish.
5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or Splenda equivalent) over the apples.
6. Pour 1/2 cup apple juice or white wine over the apples.
7. Optional: Add 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots (or other dried fruit) to the apples.
8. Cut 6 cups of stale bread into 1-inch cubes.
9. Arrange the bread cubes over the apples, gently pressing down to create an even layer.
10. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups heavy cream, and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or Splenda equivalent).
11. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread.
12. Grate the zest of 1 lemon and sprinkle it over the top.
13. Let the pudding sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
14. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
15. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
