Apple Bread Pudding

What better comfort food out there for any time of the day than Apple Bread Pudding?

This baked custard is delicious as a dessert, breakfast, and whenever a creamy smooth pudding strikes your fancy.

Growing up we often had lots of leftover bread since dad worked in a bakery.

When the milk was delivered it also had an abundance of cream on top and was used with the addition to milk for mom's recipe.

Over the years I have used half and half, or a mixture of cream and milk also, no matter what your milk substitution is it will still have a nice creamy texture as long as some cream is added.

This bread pudding with apples is perfect for fall and is great served during the Thanksgiving holiday.

The recipe has many substitutions for fruits also so check out my list below for those not fond of apples or raisins.

The bread you choose to use is also optional, we love our cinnamon swirl bread or egg bread, and often at Christmas time, Grandma would use leftover Homemade Panettone.

It's a great delicious custard with an optional caramel topping, check out the printable recipe card below.

Grandma's Bread Pudding Recipe

This is delicious bread pudding Grandma use to make when I was a child using simple pantry ingredients we always had in the house.


Bread, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, just to name a few ingredients went into this comfortubg dessert casserole dish.


She then made her special sauce with vanilla (or bourbon sauce for the adults) to pour over the top while still warm, our family favorite..


Grandma lived with us when I was a child and made this often since dad worked at a bakery back then and we always had so much leftover bread in the house, this was a staple dessert in our home.


Mom would make Italian french toast, bruschetta, and many times with the stale bread, she used it up for old-fashioned homemade bread crumbs.


Nothing went to waste in our Italian household, they were very creative when it saved time, money, and trips to the grocery store.


Dad even had a garden, and occasionally grandma even added apples or berries to the bread pudding when in season.


Easy to make and the most comforting way to serve a dessert when you feel nostalgic since this is a blast from the past 1960s recipe.

Grandma's Eggnog Bread Pudding

This Eggnog Bread Pudding is a delicious custard Grandma would make for us as a special treat on Christmas Morning.


It is so simple to prepare and the best part was we got to use up all the leftover eggnog and stale bread from the holidays.


I don't know about you but mom always overbought and cooked too much of everything for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.


This is always one of our favorites to make during the fall holiday menu planning and when dad would make his homemade eggnog around Thanksgiving.


We also love to make Apple Raisin Bread Pudding and Pumpkin Bread Pudding both great comfort foods.

Arizona Vacation and Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Pumpkin Bread Pudding was the best bread pudding flavor we ever had being huge pumpkin fans, and if you are too then this is going to be a huge win with one taste!


We were lucky to get this served to us on a trip we took to Arizona, one bite and we were hooked, we just couldn't get enough of this delicious pumpkin bread pudding it was so delicious.


It tastes just like pumpkin pie but in bread pudding form. It’s rich and creamy and delicious in every way.


We loved Arizona and actually got to eat many Southwestern foods we weren't accustomed to and everything new we tried was fantastic but this dessert stood in our mind and I couldn't wait it get their recipe to try it.


Luckily I was able to recreate the recipe from the ingredients almost perfectly to what we remember and this pumpkin bread pudding is almost spot on with a drizzle of caramel rum sauce on top.


As a bonus recipe, I also included a Ceviche Recipe we fell in love with, it's a delicious shrimp-style vegetable salad, that's so refreshing and bursting with flavor, I have also included it below.
