How to Make Apple Bread Pudding Diabetic
- Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Grease a deep 1.5-litre (6-cup) baking dish.
- Peel, core, and quarter 4-5 medium apples (about 1kg). Slice each quarter into 3mm thick slices.
- In a medium frying pan, dissolve 2 tablespoons brown sugar in 2 tablespoons water over low heat. Add the apple slices.
- Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 500ml milk and 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped.
- Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Discard the vanilla bean.
- Meanwhile, cut 4 cups of bread (challah, brioche, or a similar bread) into quarters.
- In your prepared baking dish, arrange bread and apple slices in alternating layers.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually whisk the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bread and apples, ensuring all pieces are moistened.
- Place the pudding dish in a larger baking dish.
- Pour enough boiling water into the larger baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the pudding dish (this creates a bain-marie).
- Bake uncovered for approximately 1 hour, or until the pudding is set and golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of low-fat ice cream or whipped cream (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
