🥘Ingredients

For the Bread Pudding

2 cups bread cubes
1 cup chopped apples
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch of salt

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 375°F.
2In a large mixing bowl, combine bread cubes, chopped apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3Mix well to ensure the bread is evenly coated with the sugar and spices.
4In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
5Pour this mixture over the bread mixture and stir gently to combine.
6Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb some of the liquid.
7While the bread mixture is soaking, prepare the topping.
8In a medium bowl, combine flour, cold butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
9Use your fingers to work the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Set aside.
10Transfer the bread mixture to a greased baking dish.
11Spread the mixture evenly, and then sprinkle the topping evenly over the top.
12Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
13Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
14This allows the pudding to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
15Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
