Ingredients

• 6 cups Day-old bread (white or rustic)
• 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the sliced apples with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Toss to coat the apples evenly.

Step 4

Add the seasoned apples (and raisins, if using) to the bowl with the bread cubes. Gently mix to distribute the apples throughout the bread.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and apples. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly and press it down lightly with the back of the spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
