  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 4 large eggs

How to Make Apple Cider Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups cubed stale bread, 2 cups cubed apples (about 2 medium), and 1/2 cup raisins.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  4. Whisk in 2 cups whole milk and 1 cup apple cider. Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes.
  5. Gently toss with a spatula until the bread cubes are evenly coated. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bread pudding is puffed, lightly browned, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  8. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional).
  9. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
