Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Butter a 1 1/2-quart, 8-inch baking dish.

Beat the eggs, milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.

Stir in the apples, raisins and bread cubes. Using your hands or a rubber spatula, combine the ingredients to make sure everything is evenly coated.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish pressing down lightly. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes. (*You can prepare the breakfast bread pudding ahead at this point. Cover and refrigerate overnight.)

Bake for 30 minutes covered. Uncover and continue to cook for an additional 20 minutes. Bake until golden and cooked through.

Serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Bread First 🍞
Cut bread into cubes and let them sit uncovered at room temperature for 4-6 hours or overnight to remove moisture, ensuring optimal absorption of the custard mixture without becoming mushy.
Prep and Refrigerate Overnight ❄️
Assemble the pudding in your baking dish, pour the egg custard over it, cover, and refrigerate for 8-12 hours; this allows the bread to fully absorb the mixture for creamy, cohesive texture.
Toast Apples Before Adding 🍎
Quickly sauté your diced apples in a pan with a touch of butter and cinnamon for 2-3 minutes before adding them; this concentrates their sweetness and prevents excess moisture from making the pudding soggy.
Use a Water Bath for Even Cooking 🛁
Place your baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water (halfway up the sides) while baking to ensure gentle, even cooking and prevent the edges from over-browning.
Bloom Your Vanilla Extract 🌸
Warm the milk slightly before whisking in vanilla extract to help it develop deeper, more complex flavors that will permeate throughout the entire bread pudding.
