Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 70 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 Cups day-old bread cubes
• 0.33 Cups raisins
• 1.5 Cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg, ground
• 1.5 Cups milk
• 0.5 Cups white sugar
• 0.25 Cups buttermilk
• 2 Large eggs, whisked
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Pinch cinnamon, ground

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a 9x13-inch casserole dish, evenly spread the bread cubes and raisins.
3. In a small bowl, combine the applesauce, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour this mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring even coverage.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, white sugar, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour this custard mixture over the bread, allowing it to soak in.
5. Lightly sprinkle the top with a pinch of ground cinnamon for added aroma and flavor.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly crisp.
7. Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream cheese icing for an extra touch of decadence.
