For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing the diced apples in butter with a pinch of brown sugar and a splash of bourbon before adding them to the bread pudding. If you don't have stale bread, you can lightly toast fresh bread cubes in the oven until they are slightly dry. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the apples. For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half. The bread pudding can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

Mar 14, 2025I thought it was a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I will reduce the amount of sugar by a quarter cup.
