Bread Pudding Base

Caramel Sauce

Apple Filling

Method

Preparation of Bread Pudding Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the French bread into cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix the Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine and Soak

    Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are well soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

Preparation of Apple Filling

  1. 4

    Prepare the Apples

    In a bowl, toss the diced apples with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a greased baking dish, layer half of the soaked bread mixture, followed by the apple filling, and then top with the remaining bread mixture.

  2. 6

    Bake the Pudding

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Caramel Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Caramel Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it turns a deep amber color. Carefully add the butter and stir until melted.

  2. 8

    Finish the Caramel

    Remove from heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream and sea salt. Allow to cool slightly before drizzling over the bread pudding.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Warm

    Once the bread pudding is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over each serving.
