Bread Pudding Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the oven

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Mix the ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add apples and pecans

    Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Caramel Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the caramel

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it turns a golden brown color.

  2. 6

    Add butter

    Once the sugar is melted, add in the butter and stir until fully incorporated.
