Apple Bread Pudding
Nothing beats a dish of apple bread pudding on a chilly fall day. This warm and inviting dessert is essentially the embodiment of fall comfort food. It is filled with delicious caramelized apples and capped with a crunchy turbinado sugar covering.
Choosing the correct bread is the first step in making a truly excellent bread pudding. For the creamy bread pudding texture, we chose challah, an egg-rich bread that improves the custard by adding its own richness to the pudding. If you’re really on top of things and planning ahead, you might cut the bread into cubes and leave it out overnight to naturally dry out. However, if you’re like the rest of us, baking the bread for 20 minutes at a low temperature will also work.
