This Apple Bread Pudding is an intoxicating combination you will have to taste to believe. It’s the ultimate cozy pairing of bread, apples, walnuts and dried cranberries soaked in a cinnamon laced custard, baked to golden perfection, then doused in caramel sauce. This bread pudding recipe is outrageously easy to throw together in minutes and popped in the oven or it can be prepped ahead (kept separate) for the next day. Serve this stunner up for a special occasion breakfast (hello Christmas!) or anytime you’re craving a charming dessert.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. Spread cubes into an even layer on a baking sheet and toast for ⏱️ 7-10 minutes or until dried out but not hard/crispy.
2
Meanwhile, lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Whisk all off the custard ingredients together in a medium bowl; set aside.
3
Add the bread, apples, walnuts and dried cranberries to a separate large bowl and toss to combine then pour into the prepared baking dish. Pour the custard over top and let it sit for a couple minutes, then press down on the bread to totally submerge it (I just use my hands). Let the casserole rest for ⏱️ 15 minutes, then top evenly with cubed butter.
4
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for ⏱️ 45-55 minutes or until the edges look set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but without any raw/wet custard. Cool on a baking rack for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes before serving. Meanwhile, make the caramel sauce:
5
Caramel Sauce: Melt butter over medium-high heat in a small saucepan. Add brown sugar and heavy cream, whisking until sugar dissolves and sauce is heated through. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. You can make the caramel ahead and reheat when ready to serve but you might need to add a little extra heavy cream as sauce thickens upon standing.
6
Pour desired amount of Caramel Sauce over the bread pudding and serve warm.
