Made apple butter bread pudding sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with crème anglaise.

Preheat Oven

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

Prepare Bread

In another bowl, whisk together the apple butter, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.

Mix Wet Ingredients

Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes. Gently fold to combine, ensuring all bread pieces are coated. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb.

Combine Mixtures

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until set and golden.

Bake

While the bread pudding is baking, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Prepare Topping

Once the bread pudding is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping over the top.

Sprinkle

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Split the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the cream, adding both the seeds and the pod to the mixture. Heat until just simmering.

Heat Cream

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.

Whisk Yolks and Sugar

Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).

Thicken Sauce

Strain the crème anglaise through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the vanilla pod. Let it cool slightly before serving.
