Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray
8 cups cubed stale bread
2 ½ cups milk
5 green cardamom pods
¾ teaspoon whole allspice berries
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons butter, divided
1 large apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 ¼ cups lightly packed brown sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon caramel extract
4 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place cubed bread inside of dish and set aside.
  • Bring milk, cardamom pods, allspice berries, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat; simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes. Strain milk into a bowl to remove large spices.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute apple in the hot butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add 1 cup brown sugar, vanilla extract, and caramel extract. Stir until sugar is melted. Pour over bread cubes and toss until evenly distributed.
  • Beat eggs and cooled, spiced milk together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer. Pour over the bread mixture. Allow bread to soak up mixture, 10 to 15 minutes, lightly tapping down bread cubes as needed so egg mixture can soak in.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar over the bread pudding. Melt remaining butter in a microwave-safe dish in a microwave, 15 to 30 seconds. Drizzle over brown sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread will absorb more of the custard, resulting in a richer, more flavorful bread pudding.
  • Don't overmix the custard: Overmixing the custard will make it tough. Just mix until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Let the bread pudding rest before baking: This will allow the bread to absorb more of the custard and will help the pudding set.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: This will help to prevent the pudding from drying out.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream: This will make the pudding even more delicious.
