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.
My sweet helpers anxious to eat 🙂 Whisk those eggs to start.
Add your brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
Cube a nice apple and keep those little fingers from eating them all 🙂
Time to saute!
Let them sizzle in a little butter.
Add some brown sugar and cinnamon. Wait until you smell this!
A little skillet of heaven.
Pour that mixture into your egg and cream mix, drippings and all.
Mmm, now give it a good stir.
Divide that heavenly custard into your ramekins please 🙂
Ahhh, almost ready for the oven.
A little brown sugar on top!
Time for the oven, bake for 30-35 minutes until puffed and cooked through.

Well, pour some syrup over first if you are enjoying for breakfast, then dig in!

I’m away from home temporarily and would really like to make these, what could I use instead of ramekins because I don’t have bakeware here? Something I could throw away later would be ideal. Could I make this as one big cake type thing?
How would this change if I were to need this for a lot more people, like 11, but don’t have more than 4 ramekins? Could I make this in one big casserole dish?
I love that your boys help so much! I’m a firm believer in letting kids help out in the kitchen, especially boys so their future wives will love their mother in law 😉
Looks fabulous,darling! Your boys are beautiful! I wish I lived closer to you so we could bake together. Miss you already.
Sending hugs.
Muah.

I love how easy this looks! I appreciate brunch foods that don’t take all day before the brunch to prepare and could actually be made the morning of!

I always found bread pudding to be rather strange, but I like the idea of using cinnamon bread! This comes out like a kind of cakey apple crisp. Awesome!
