At the Ballerina Farm store, day-old bread is always diced up into croutons, blitzed into breadcrumbs, or torn up and used in desserts like this warmly spiced apple bread pudding. It is rich and custardy, dotted with a sweet apple filling that bursts with tart sweetness in each bite. The diced apples and sugars make a natural caramel that sauces the bread pudding, and a generous spoonful of Aunt Penny's Buttermilk Syrup makes the dessert extra special.

Apple Bread Pudding

Prep: 1 hr 10 minsCook: 1 hrYield: 6 to 9 servings

Ingredients:

    Bread Pudding

    Apple Filling & Assembly

    Directions:

    1. Lightly butter a 9 x 9-inch pan (23 x 23-cm) and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit (175-degrees Celsius).

    Bread Pudding

    1. Cube the bread into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Set aside.
    2. To a large bowl, make the custard mixture. Add the eggs, cream, milk, applesauce, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

    Apple Filling & Assembly

    1. Dice the apples and add them to a pot over medium heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom and stir to combine.
    2. Cook, stirring often, until the apples begin to soften, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
    3. Add the cubed bread to the large bowl with the custard mixture. Stir until all of the bread is coated. Add the cooked apples and stir to combine.
    4. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared pan and let soak for 20 minutes.
    5. Sprinkle the top of the bread pudding with additional brown sugar and transfer to the oven. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 200-degrees Fahrenheit (93-degrees Celsius).
    6. Let cool for 10 minutes. Top with buttermilk syrup (if desired) and enjoy.
