Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup of fresh milk
- ½ cup of rich heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 loaf of cinnamon bread with raisins, sliced into 1-inch cubes (16 ounces)
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 cup of golden brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup of melted butter
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
Step 1
Start by beating the eggs in a mixing bowl until they are frothy and light. Gradually whisk in the creamy milk, rich cream, fragrant vanilla extract, and a hint of nutmeg, blending everything together harmoniously. Gently fold in the bread cubes, allowing them to soak up the luxurious egg mixture for a few minutes to ensure they are perfectly infused. In another bowl, combine the sliced apples with a sprinkling of brown sugar, aromatic cinnamon, and a drizzle of melted butter, tossing them gently to ensure each piece is coated with deliciousness.
Step 2
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly before artfully arranging the apple slices at the bottom. Spoon the bread mixture over the apples, creating a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
Step 3
The next day, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in anticipation of baking this delectable creation. Sprinkle the diced apples over the bread pudding, adding an extra layer of fruity goodness. Cover the dish once more with foil before placing it in the oven. Bake until the bread transforms into a delightful golden brown and is no longer soggy, typically around 40 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the foil and switch the oven setting to Broil to achieve a beautifully caramelized top in just 5 minutes. Once done, take it out and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to settle and meld together for a truly satisfying experience.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Store your apples in a cool, dark place to maintain their crispness and flavor. If refrigerating, place them in the crisper drawer to prevent them from ripening too quickly.
- 2. Keep your raisins in an airtight container to preserve their chewy texture and natural sweetness. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
