How to Make Apple Bread Pudding With Vanilla Butter Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with butter.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups cubed stale bread, 1/2 cup raisins, and 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced).
  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 3/4 cups half-and-half, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter.
  5. Cook, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
  6. Pour the warm sugar mixture over the bread, raisin, and apple mixture. Toss gently to coat.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the egg mixture evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the apples are tender. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  10. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with the Vanilla Butter Sauce.
  11. **Vanilla Butter Sauce:**
  12. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup half-and-half, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, and 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter.
  13. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 4-5 minutes).
  14. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  15. Serve warm over the bread pudding.
