# Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the bread chunks on a baking sheet and toast for about 10 minutes until they’re slightly golden.

In a skillet, soften the apples with butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt for about 5 minutes.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, and sugar until everything’s smooth and mixed well.

Grease a 9x13 pan. Combine the bread chunks and cooked apples in it, then pour the custard over everything. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
05 -
Bake the dish for roughly 40 minutes or until it’s set and a knife stuck in the center comes out clean.

Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan, add cream, and stir for a couple of minutes. Mix in bourbon and let it gently simmer for a minute.
# Notes:

Stale bread skips needing a toasting step.

Store the sauce and pudding in separate containers.

You can make it in advance and heat it up later.
