Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the diced apple with cinnamon and honey (if using).
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add the melted butter to the egg mixture and stir until combined.
  5. In a greased small baking dish, layer the cubed bread and the apple mixture, ensuring the apples are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the bread and apples, pressing down gently to soak the bread.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and the pudding is set.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Tips for Healthy German Apple Bread Pudding

  • A shallow baking dish helps the center set evenly; a deep dish may leave the middle softer than the golden edges.
  • The pudding is ready when the center looks set rather than liquid and the bread has absorbed most of the custard.
  • Serve warm with a spoonful of plain yogurt or a little extra cinnamon for a simple finishing touch.

Frequently asked questions

Can I assemble it ahead of time?

For the best texture, bake it soon after assembly; extended soaking can make the bread overly soft.

How can I tell when the center is done?

The center should look set, with no loose liquid custard, and the top should be lightly golden.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes. Use a larger baking dish, and allow extra baking time; check for a set center and lightly golden top.
