Ingredients
– 6 cups cubed day-old bread (French or challah works best)
– 3 cups milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon nutmeg
– 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)

Instructions
Creating Irresistible Caramel Apple Bread Pudding Delight is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Bread: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread with the diced apples. If using nuts, add them here as well. Toss to distribute evenly.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the bread and apple mixture. Allow it to soak for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all the bread absorbs the liquid.
5. Add Caramel: Drizzle half of the caramel sauce into the mixture, folding gently to distribute it without breaking the bread cubes.
6. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with additional caramel sauce and topped with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
