I hope you all enjoy this Caramel Apple Bread Pudding. I\u2019ve been working on perfecting this for quite a while. Yep, I had to take one for the team and sample more than one early prototype!<\/p>\n


<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m obsessive about the taste and quality of my recipes, especially desserts! Maybe it\u2019s because we hardly had dessert when I was a kid so I think each one should be a celebration! This bread pudding is.<\/p>\n

About Caramel Apple Bread Pudding:<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s something about everyone and everything that starts with humble beginnings and transforms with love and care into something that is somehow more than could ever be expected.<\/p>\n

Bread pudding is one of those little miracles. It\u2019s that loaf of bread that sat too long (or one you\u2019ve bought and \u201caged\u201d), a few apples, a couple of eggs, a little milk and cream, a palmful of spices, and admittedly a hefty dose of sugar. Nothing more than time, care, and love morph those basics into a standout dessert.<\/p>\n

In this dessert, bread pudding is outstanding, soft, custardy, and perfumed by grated apples wending throughout. If that isn\u2019t enough, there are caramelly apples layered through the center, just a little extra over-the-top touch. I can almost guarantee a bit of caramelly apple in every bite!<\/p>\n

Serving:<\/h2>\n

This is ideal for a get-together and the ultimate make-ahead dessert. Make it before a meal and serve barely warm and a bit wobbly or a day or two ahead so it firms up and slices cleanly \u2013 either is outstanding.<\/p>\n

I like to drive that caramel apple vibe by drizzling with either my easy Butterscotch Caramel Sauce<\/a><\/em><\/span> (above) or my Salted Caramel Sauce<\/a><\/em><\/span> if ya want to be fancier (below). Ice cream isn\u2019t necessary but I wouldn\u2019t say no.<\/p>\n

Preparing the Bread:<\/h2>\n

When cutting the bread if any of the crust is hard, feel free to shave it off, but don\u2019t take too much; you\u2019ll want as close to a pound loaf as possible. Removing all the crust can reduce 1 pound to 9 ounces, affecting the recipe!<\/p>\n

Use a serrated knife for cutting. Cut into slices (or buy sliced) and then into cubes. Smaller cubes cook up with better texture and look prettier. Shoot for 1\/2\u2033 to 3\/4.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dry the bread, open to the air, if there is a safe place, for a day or two or toss in a 300-degree F. oven on a rimmed sheet pan until dry, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through or as needed. Don\u2019t brown.<\/p>\n
