Calories 240kcal
Ingredients
- ½ loaf French bread about ½ lb
- 2 cups apple diced with skin on (about 1 large apple)
- ½ cup walnuts coarsely chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup honey
- 1 orange zested
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
- Caramel sauce for serving
Instructions
- Grease 7 x 11” or 9 x 9” or 8 x 8” baking pan.
- Cut bread into ¾” thick cubes and spread all over the baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the honey until smooth. Add the milk, zest, and spices. Whisk until combined.
- Pour the custard mixture over the bread in the pan, moving as you pour so that all the bread gets covered. You can also put everything in a blender and blitz it until smooth.
- Sprinkle the apple and walnuts over the bread and press down with a spatula.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or even as long as overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Remove the plastic wrap and bake the bread pudding for 35-45 minutes, depending on pan depth until lightly browned on top and all the custard is solid.
- Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Great with ice cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter take.
