Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding

Fall foods in full swing, and here’s to riding that wave- apple cinnamon bread pudding.

I’m almost done with my whirlwind fall travel (I’m in California for work as you read this) and my body has been going through a bit of a whiplash. From fall foliage in Alaska to eighty degrees in Paris, back to morning frost in London and now re-entering #HotSweatyGirlSummer in Fresno – I’m ready to go home and tuck into falling temps, cozy nights by the fire with Crawley and fuzzy PJs and socks.

It is truly the best time of year.

Speaking of Alaska, this is my first travel recipe recreating coming at ya. We had a version of this at The Rustic Goat in Anchorage and I just couldn’t wait to get home and make it for myself.

Now, as a disclaimer, bread pudding is one of my favorite fave desserts. I love bread and custard and most ways that you can bring the two together (sans raisins), I’m in.  My favorite is Paula’s chocolate version because…chocolate. However, this version takes a good thing and pushes it over the top by adding streusel topping – which makes it also amazing.

I KNOW. Genius!

Served warm is a must and with vanilla ice cream is even more of a must.

Apple cinnamon bread pudding uses leftover challah, fresh fall apples and is topped with a buttery streusel topping.

By:

Ingredients
  • 1/2 loaf challah bread, cut into cubes and dried overnight (about 5-6 cups)
  • 2 cups 2% or whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 medium apples (I used Gala), diced (about 2 cups)
  • For the streusel topping:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 TB unsalted butter, room temperature
Directions
  • Step 1 In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sugars, milk, salt, cinnamon and vanilla until well combined.
  • Step 2 Grease a loaf pan. Add a layer of bread to the pan (about 1/3 of the bread), and cover with a layer of diced apples. Add another layer of bread and another layer of apples and then finish with the remaining bread.
  • Step 3 Pour the liquid evenly over the bread and press all the bread into it so make sure all the bread is wet. Cover with plastic wrap and put something somewhat heavy on top of the pudding directly to ensure that all the bread pieces stay submerged. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Step 4 The next day, preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Step 5 In a small bowl, add together the streusel topping ingredients and using a fork to distribute the butter, combine all until it’s the texture of coarse sand.
  • Step 6 Pour the streusel topping evenly over the bread and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • Step 7 Serve warm with ice cream.
