Custard Bread Pudding
I had so much fun creating this decadent brunch/dessert with the boys last week. I had a major craving for a custard-y bread pudding and this hit the spot with sauteed apples and cinnamon mixed in. You are going to love this one. Enjoy!

Start with some thick cinnamon bread. Most grocery stores have a nice selection. Brioche or croissants would be fabulous too.
How To Make Bread Pudding
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and lightly spray four 2 cup ramekins with non stick cooking spray.
2. Cube bread into 1/2 inch pieces and divide evenly between ramekins.
3. Place eggs, cream, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla into a large bowl, whisk to combine. Place butter into a medium skillet over medium heat. Saute apples for 1 minute then add brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook and stir for another minute. Transfer apples and drippings into cream mixture then divide between ramekins over bread. Top with 1 tablespoon brown sugar on top then bake for 30-35 minutes, until puffed and cooked through. Remove and dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with just a touch of pure maple syrup if desired.
Cube your bread slices to get them ready for the ramekins.
There we go. Divide the cubed bread between your 4 ramekins.
