How to Make Apple Nut Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 6 cups cubed stale bread (challah or brioche recommended), 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), and 1 cup pecans (chopped).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 4 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the bread mixture, gently stirring to combine. Ensure all bread pieces are moistened.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the pudding is set. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

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.
