Ingredients

Bread Pudding

  • 4 whole eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 medium apples, peeled, cubed (2 cups)
  • 12 oz French or other firm bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices, then cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (10 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 325°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In large bowl, beat 4 whole eggs, 1 egg yolk and 3/4 cup granulated sugar with wire whisk until well blended. Beat in milk, whipping cream, vanilla and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until well blended. Stir in apples and 7 cups of the bread pieces. Let stand 20 minutes.
  • 3
    Pour apple mixture into baking dish. Lightly press remaining 3 cups bread pieces on top of mixture in baking dish. Brush top of bread with melted butter. In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle over top.
  • 4
    Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until top is puffed and light golden brown (center will jiggle slightly). Cool 30 minutes.
  • 5
    In 1-quart saucepan, heat sauce ingredients to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly, just until butter is melted and sauce is hot. Serve warm bread pudding with sauce.

  • Using bread that is a day or two old is best; it will be firmer and drier than fresh bread. Bread that is too fresh and soft will give you a bread pudding that is too moist and soggy.
  • If you like, skip making the sauce and top with caramel topping instead.
