Ingredients for Apple Gingerbread Bread Pudding

  • Gingerbread
  • Mcintosh Apple
  • Currants
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Vanilla Bean
  • 2 large eggs
  • Egg Yolks
  • Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

How to Make Apple Gingerbread Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed stale bread, apples, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently stir until the bread is evenly moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  6. Let the bread pudding cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

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!
