A delightful twist on the classic bread pudding, featuring warm spices and tender apples.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
Cut the bread into cubes and dice the apples.
Using day-old bread helps it absorb the liquid mixture better.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Whisk until the sugar is dissolved for a smooth mixture.
Combine the bread cubes and apples in the bowl with the wet mixture. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Allowing the bread to soak ensures it absorbs all the flavors.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Check doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
Let the pudding cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
