NUTTY APPLE BREAD PUDDING
This Apple Bread Pudding recipe is so good. My family loves bread pudding and this apple bread pudding is a favorite. I am not fond of bread that has been frozen so I used leftover hot dog and hamburger buns to make this pudding. You can use any kind of bread you like such as French bread, biscuits, whole wheat bread, etc.
Apple Bread Pudding
6 or 7 cups crumbled bread, broken in about 1 inch size pieces
1 cup hot water
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine or 4 tablespoons, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup evaporated milk (can use regular milk)
1 cup raisins
1 cup grated apple (1 large or 2 small apples peeled and grated)
2/3 cup walnut pieces or nuts of your choice
Crumble bread in large bowl and pour the hot water over the bread. In another bowl combine the remaining ingredients except for the nuts and whisk together. Add crumbs and mix well with spoon. Spray a 9 x 9 square baking dish and pour in bread mixture. Sprinkle walnuts over top. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Makes about 8 servings. Great with ice cream and caramel sauce recipe below.
Caramel Sauce
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup evaporated or regular milk
Mix all ingredients in sauce pan and bring to boil on top of the stove. Let boil one minute. Remove and cool. This sauce thickens as it cools. Pour over bread pudding or ice cream.
Note: This sauce keeps well in the fridge and is great over ice cream, cakes, cinnamon rolls. Reheat in microwave before using. Enjoy!

This bread pudding is absolutely fantabulous! I made it today. It is the perfect consistency, and the flavor is oh so delicious.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
I will make this
How long will this keep if I refridgerated it? I want to make it tonight and use it for dessert tomorrow night!
It should be fine tomorrow night if you make it tonight.
I have made bread pudding for years. Aways doubled the liquids because I cannot stand a dry consistency. Yours looks wonderful. Probably will use the egg bread I made for Thanksgiving, and some croissants leftovers. Thanks for great posts.
The caramel sauce is also great over popcorn, yum!
Looks wonderful, and will taste even better. Am going to make as soon
as possible. Looks like this will be a big family favourite.
Warm bread pudding is my all time favorite comfort food. Before the days of a/c, my mother made bread pudding frequently because bread just didn’t stay fresh for long during southern summers. Hers was custard like requiring no additional sauce but I can’t wait to try this with Martin’s Potato rolls and your caramel sauce.
Looks like a crowd pleaser.
