Bread & Apple Pudding with Crumble

This amazing bread and apple pudding makes a perfect comfort dessert for your family or guests in the fall or winter days.

I know that most of you are telling: “Bread Pudding?! Come on, this is not the perfect dessert when you have guests!”

But I guarantee you that my bread pudding can turn on a special dessert on a family or friends dinner or Sunday lunch. And you know why? This bread pudding with apple caramelized filling and a crispy crumble serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is top.

Making a bread pudding is the best way to use bread leftovers.

This recipe is one of those recipes that my father used to do often, whenever there were bread leftovers. But I made some changes to my father’s recipe, or better I added new ingredients like the apple filling and the crumble on top.

How to make a perfect Bread Pudding?

To make a perfect bread I have some tips for you:

• It’s essential that after the milk, sugar, and eggs have boiled, you’re going to add the bread and then you need let it sit for 10 minutes, so the bread can absorb some of the liquid.
• I choose to put the bread and apple pudding on ramekin, but you can use a baking pan if you prefer. In this case, when you remove the pudding from the oven you can cut it into squares.
• This recipe has 3 big steps: crumble, apple filling and pudding. Follow this order and don´t miss any of them.

When you take the first bite of this bread and apple pudding with the crispy crumble melting with the vanilla ice cream you will feel your body melt with delight.
