By moddie2bert

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 6 cups Challah bread, cube into 1/2-inch pieces
• 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
• 6 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups cream
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• powdered sugar, for dusting

Preparation

Step 1

Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Add the cubed bread and apples, arranging them evenly in the dish. In a medium bowl, mix together the eggs, cream, milk, honey, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and apples. Refrigerate for about 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Put the baking dish in a larger metal roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes about an inch up the side of the baking dish. Bake until the pudding is firm and the top is golden brown, about 1½ hours. Cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
