Caramel Apple Bread Pudding - This Caramel Apple Bread Pudding is the perfect cozy, Fall dessert! Full of cinnamon, apples, and topped with caramel sauce, the flavor is full of delicious comfort.
Ingredients
- 4 cups French bread cubes
- 2 cups peeled and diced Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup 1/2 stick salted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs beaten
Caramel Sauce:
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Place your brown sugar, milk, and butter in your Rockcrock Dutch Oven on the stove over medium heat. Cook and stir until the butter is melted. Remove from heat. Add your bread and apples and stir to coat. In a small bowl, whisk together cinnamon, cloves, eggs, and vanilla. Pour evenly over bread mixture.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, until pudding is browned, set, and apples are tender.
- While bread pudding is baking, prepare caramel sauce: Bring your water, sugar, and butter to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until mixture is dark golden brown, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour the cream into the sugar mixture, in a slow, steady stream. It will bubble up and the sugar will seem to form a big clump. Just keep stirring and eventually it will become smooth. Continue cooking and stirring for about 10 minutes, until mixture is smooth and has thickened a bit. Set aside to cool -- it will thicken as it cools, so don't worry if it seems too thin at first!
- Pour caramel sauce generously over bowls of bread pudding and enjoy.
