For the Pudding

  • 6 cups bread, cubed day-old French or brioche recommended
  • 2 cups milk dairy-free substitute: almond milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream substitute with half-and-half for lighter option
  • 4 large eggs use flax eggs for vegan version

Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Mix cubed bread and chopped apples together gently in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl until well combined.

  • Drizzle caramel sauce over the mixture and fold in gently.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
