Apple-Cheddar Bread Pudding with Spiced Maple Butter Sauce

For a variation on bread pudding that’s less sweet than most and is perfect for fall entertaining, you’ll want to make this Apple-Cheddar Bread Pudding recipe. Made with fresh, crisp apples, white bread cubes, Cabot Sharp Cheddar cheese, milk, eggs, sugar, salt and cinnamon, this recipe brings together simple yet delicious ingredient pairings. But that’s not all! It’s topped with a lovely Spiced Maple Butter Sauce that truly elevates this already amazing and quick bread pudding. Make this dish for a fall brunch and then share the recipe with friends and family members on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter or Instagram – and use our handle @cabotcheese when posting on Instagram.

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Butter a 7-inch by 11-inch baking dish (or an 8-inch square glass baking dish) and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs to combine. Add milk, sugar, melted Cabot Unsalted Butter, cinnamon and salt, whisking again until the sugar is dissolved. Add the bread, apples and Cabot Sharp Cheddar cheese and stir gently to combine.

Transfer mixture to prepared dish, distributing solids evenly. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until pudding is golden on top and set all the way to the center. Dust with additional cinnamon and serve warm with Maple Butter Sauce (see recipe below).

Maple Butter Sauce:

To make the Maple Butter Sauce, melt Cabot Unsalted Butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Add maple syrup and cook, whisking occasionally, until butter blends with syrup and sauce is slightly thickened. Serve warm over bread pudding.
