Instructions
Making the Irresistible Caramel Apple Bread Pudding Delight is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to create this amazing dessert:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and diced apples. Toss gently to mix and set aside.
3. Make Custard Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the custard mixture over the bread and apple mixture. Gently stir until all the bread is soaked and the apples are evenly distributed.
5. Add Pecans: If using, fold in the chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15-20 minutes. This will help it firm up a bit for easier serving.
9. Drizzle with Caramel: Before serving, drizzle the warm bread pudding with caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.
10. Serve: Optionally, serve with whipped cream for an indulgent experience.
These steps will guide you in creating the Irresistible Caramel Apple Bread Pudding Delight effortlessly, ensuring a delicious result every time.
