This apple and cinnamon bread and butter pudding is old-fashioned comfort in a baking dish.
Ingredients
- 3 Granny Smith apples
- 100g butter, softened
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 10 slices white bread, crusts removed
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1/4 cup caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, extra
Method
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 180C.

Step 2Peel and core apples and cut into a 1cm dice. Place in a nonstick frypan with 30g butter, cinnamon and brown sugar, and cook over gentle heat for 4 minutes, stirring, until just starting to soften. Set aside.
-
Step 3Grease a 25cm oven-proof dish with some of the butter. Spread remaining butter on bread slices, and cut into triangles.
-
Step 4Layer half the bread in the base of the prepared dish. Top with half the apples, then remaining bread, and finish with rest of the apples.
-
Step 5In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, cream, caster sugar, vanilla and extra cinnamon. Pour over bread and apples, ensuring all of the bread is well-soaked in the liquid.

Step 6Bake for 25 minutes until the top is golden and the liquid has set into a soft custard.
-
Step 7Serve with ice-cream or cream (or both!).
Recipe Notes
You can use all milk if you prefer, but I like a mixture of cream and milk for extra decadence.
