From the Test Kitchen

For this irresistible, seasonal bread pudding, you'll soak fluffy challah bun pieces and spiced, cooked apples in a cream and sugar mixture, then top it with caramel shards before baking until warm and toasty. You'll finish it off with a drizzle of creamy mascarpone for a touch of savory contrast.

ingredients

2 Pasture-Raised Eggs
2 Challah Buns
2 Apples
½ cup Cream
1 cup Powdered Sugar
4 Tbsps Mascarpone Cheese
1 tsp Warming Spices (Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom & Allspice)
1 oz Salted Butter
¼ cup Caramel Shards
¼ cup Sour Cream

step-by-step

instructions

1 Prepare the ingredients

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 350°F. Wash and dry the apples, then quarter, core, and thinly slice. Tear the buns into bite-sized pieces.

2 Cook the apples

In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat the butter on medium-high until melted. Add the sliced apples, warming spices, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly softened. Turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly.

3 Make the filling

Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the cream (shaking the packet before opening), sour cream, and 3/4 cup of the sugar (you will have extra). Whisk until smooth. Add the cooked apples (including any excess liquid from the pan) and stir to combine. Add the bun pieces and gently stir to combine. Set aside to saturate about 2 minutes.

4 Bake the bread pudding

Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Transfer the filling to the baking dish; spread into an even layer. Evenly top with the caramel shards. Bake 26 to 30 minutes, or until the buns are toasted and the filling is set and cooked through. Remove from the oven; let stand at least 2 minutes before serving.

5 Finish & serve your dish

Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the mascarpone and 2 tablespoons of water. Serve the baked bread pudding drizzled with the mascarpone. Enjoy!
