For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a handful of raisins or chopped pecans to the bread mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of bread, such as croissants or sourdough, for a unique twist. If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for part of the milk.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the cubed bread in the prepared dish and set aside. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a saucepan, combine the milk, cardamom pods, allspice berries, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes to infuse the milk with flavor. Strain the milk through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices. (20 minutes)
03
StepMelt 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped apple and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of brown sugar, vanilla extract, and caramel extract until the sugar is melted and well combined. Pour the apple mixture over the bread cubes in the baking dish, tossing to distribute evenly. (10 minutes)
04
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and the strained, spiced milk. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture in the baking dish. Gently press down on the bread cubes to ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Let the bread pudding sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the liquid. (15 minutes)
05
StepSprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar evenly over the top of the bread pudding. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe dish, about 15-30 seconds. Drizzle the melted butter over the brown sugar. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the bread pudding is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving. (50 minutes)
07
StepServe warm or cold, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
