Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 medium apples cored and cubed
- 6 cups day-old bread cubes like sourdough or challah
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch square or round baking dish and set it aside.
- Core and cube the apples. Cut your day-old bread into even cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined.
- Add the bread cubes and cubed apples to the wet mixture. Stir everything together until the bread is fully moistened.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Place it in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. If you notice the top browning too quickly, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil.
- The pudding is ready when it's set and golden brown on top. You can use a toothpick to check: if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, your pudding is done.
- Let the pudding cool for a few minutes, then serve it warm. Add toppings of your choice, like vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
