How to Make Apple Bread Pudding With Cranberries

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Peel, core, and thinly slice 1 large apple (about 1 cup sliced). Toss with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté apples for 2-3 minutes until softened. Set aside to cool.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1/4 cup honey granules until light and frothy.
5. Whisk in 1 cup half-and-half, zest of 1 orange, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
6. Add 4 cups cubed day-old bread (about 1 pound), 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and the cooled apples. Gently mix until the bread is moistened.
7. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
8. Grease a 1.5-quart souffle dish or similar oven-safe dish with butter.
9. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared dish.
10. Place the souffle dish in a larger roasting pan.
11. Carefully pour boiling water into the roasting pan, filling it halfway up the sides of the souffle dish.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
