Ingredients

• 6 cups (cubed) Bread (preferably day-old, French or brioche)
• 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or six ramekins.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and melted butter. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Add the diced apples to the custard mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes and gently fold until the bread absorbs the liquid. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to ensure thorough soaking.

Step 6

Spoon the bread pudding mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin or ramekins, pressing down lightly to pack the mixture into each cup.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin or ramekins onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the bread pudding cups to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the tin or serving directly in the ramekins.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally topped with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
