Maple Apple Bread Pudding. A warm comfort food dessert.

We had a big Sunday Brunch at our house today with my nephew Nate and his pregnant mom. She’s been craving bread pudding and put in a special request for this one which we served as a post-brunch dessert.

The glazed apples in this recipe are served in a sort of apple flavoured caramel sauce. This bumps up the flavour to a whole other level.

I like Red Delicious Apples for this recipe but you can use any kind you like.

As regular readers will know, Spouse is a huge fan of bread pudding. Warm desserts in particular are her favourites.

This one got a big thumbs up from her as well. She said it was like apple pie meets bread pudding. 

I don’t disagree. It was scrumptious!

There were a couple of no-shows because of the change in daylight savings time. Look what they missed, proving yet again, you snooze, you lose.

Brioche Rolls

An ideal bread for this recipe is brioche. If you want to try your hand at making it you can find our recipe here.

2023 update:

A lot has changed since this recipe was originally shared in 2012. I mentioned my sister Belinda was pregnant, and that baby recently turned 11 years old!

One thing that remains the same is just how good this recipe is. With the fall season back in full swing, we are featuring this recipe again as an ultimate comfort food dessert. Seriously, nothing will bring people together at the table faster!

Ingredients

For the bread pudding

Toggle ingredient group

• 5 cups bread cubes (Use any good quality bread. I’ve used Brioche here but French, Italian or Belgian bread is good too.)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• Pinch salt

For the Maple Apples

Toggle ingredient group

• 4-5 large apples
• ¼ cup butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup whipping cream

Instructions

To prepare the bread pudding

1. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish well.
2. In a bowl, toss the bread cubes with the nutmeg and cinnamon.
3. Place the spiced bread cubes into the greased baking dish.
4. Whisk together the whipping cream, milk, egg yolks, eggs, sugar vanilla and salt.
5. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
6. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down slightly to make sure all the cubes are soaked.
7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45-50 minutes until the custard is set and no longer liquid in the center.
8. Let the bread pudding stand for about 20 minutes before serving.
9. Serve with the apples and maple caramel sauce.

To prepare the apples

1. Peel and cut the apples into thick slices.
2. In a medium skillet melt the butter and add the cinnamon and brown sugar.
3. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly.
4. Add the apples and sauté until the apples are just fork tender but not mushy.
5. Remove the apples from the sauce. Let them drain in a colander or sieve and return all the liquid to to a small saucepan.
6. Add the maple syrup and simmer the sauce for several minutes to reduce it to a slightly thickened bubbling consistency.
7. Add the whipping cream and simmer for an additional couple of minutes.
8. Return the apples to the sauce to warm them and serve over the bread pudding.
