Toffee Apple Bread Pudding Bundt #BundtBakers

Tart apple, sticky toffee and vanilla custard filled bread come together in this toffee apple bread pudding Bundt to create a dessert that is way more than the sum of its parts.

My husband is a huge fan of bread pudding but I must confess that it’s not my favorite dessert. I do love that is uses up leftover stale bread though, so I make it from time to time. The problem is that he eats just two or three servings, and then I have leftover bread pudding! First world problems, I know, I know.

I hate waste so I’ve started working smarter. This recipe is made in a 6-cup Bundt pan (<Amazon affiliate link) so that’s four generous servings or 5-6 skimpy ones. I promise you, no one will want a skimpy serving of toffee apple bread pudding!

Toffee Apple Bread Pudding Bundt

This recipe is adapted from one on the BBC Good Food site. The caramel can be homemade or store-bought. All caramel is good!

Ingredients
3 brioche buns (Mine weighed 6 oz or 170g.)*
2 eggs
3/4 cup or 180ml full-fat milk
1/2 cup or 120ml whipping cream
4 tablespoons golden caster sugar (You can substitute granulated sugar.)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 green apple (I used a Granny Smith)
1 cup or 312g thick caramel
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled, for buttering 6-cup Bundt pan.

Optional: extra caramel for serving

*Note: You can substitute another stale bread but buttery brioche makes a richer bread pudding. Also, the crusts are tender so they don’t have to be removed.

Method
Cut the brioche buns into small cubes and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract together with the 4 tablespoons sugar.

Core and peel the apple, then chop it into small chunks. Toss the chunks immediately into the egg mixture so they don’t turn brown.

Stir the bread cubes through the apple/egg mixture. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

When the refrigeration time is up, preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C. Using a pastry brush, liberally butter the Bundt pan with the melted butter and pour the rest of it into the bottom of the Bundt pan.

Spoon 1/3 of the pudding mix into the pan. Spoon about 1/4 of the caramel into the pan.

Top with another 1/3 of the pudding mix, followed by another 1/4 of the caramel.

Finish with the rest of the pudding mix followed by another 1/4 of the caramel, reserving the final 1/4 of the caramel for pouring over the finished apple bread pudding.

Put the Bundt pan inside another larger cake pan and put your kettle on to boil.

Put the pans in the preheated oven and carefully pour boiling water into the bottom pan to about halfway up that pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden and the custard has set. You should see some butter bubbling up around the edges.

Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack then invert on a plate. This toffee apple bread pudding Bundt can be served immediately with the reserved caramel on the side. Or continue cooling it completely and drizzle on the additional caramel before serving.

If you have even more caramel than the recipe calls for (My store-bought jar held more that one cup.) serve those leftovers with the pudding. Because more caramel is always better.

Enjoy!
