Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.25 cup Dark rum
• 2 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 6 cups Day-old bread (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Add the milk and heavy cream to the egg mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Fold the bread cubes, diced apples, and soaked raisins (including any remaining rum) into the custard mixture. Stir gently to ensure the bread is evenly coated.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Let the bread mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the custard to absorb into the bread.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
