The Best Salted Caramel Apple Bread Pudding #saltedcaramel #breadpudding

This Salted Caramel Apple Bread Pudding is a great dessert for the fall or for anytime. I think the apple flavored bread pudding tasted fantastic and went really well with the layers of salted caramel.

To me apples and caramel are made to be together and the flavor combination is fantastic in this bread pudding. We loved the bread pudding and I really loved the apple and caramel flavors throughout. I can’t wait to make this delicious treat again and I hope you enjoy!

You’ll Need:

• 6 cups cubed bread (I used a round loaf of bread)
• 2 cups milk (I used soy milk)
• 1 1/2 cups apple pie filling
• 1/2 cup caramel ice cream sauce
• 4 eggs
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium sized bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until combined.
3. Chop up the apples contained in the 1 1/2 cups of apple pie filling into smaller pieces. Then add the apple pie filling into the milk and egg mixture.
4. Place the bread crumbs in a large bowl and pour the milk and apple mixture on top of the bread. Fold the ingredients together making sure to moisten all of the bread. Allow the bread mixture to stand for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, mix the caramel ice cream sauce and sea salt together until combined.
6. Pour half of the bread mixture into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Press the bread to form an even layer. Spread half of the salted caramel sauce on top of the bread layer. Then pour the other half of the bread mixture on top of the salted caramel sauce and press into an even layer. Spread the remaining salted caramel sauce on top.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the bread pudding is set. Let the pudding cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. If it will not be served right away, refrigerate until ready to serve. It can then be served cold or heated up. If desired, serve with additional salted caramel sauce on top.
