This Salted Caramel Apple Bread Pudding is the perfect flavor to give me my own personal welcome to Fall.
Some of my favorite fall flavors include apples, bread pudding, and salted caramel. I figured why not combine them all into the ultimate bread pudding. It’s the perfect amount of custard creaminess plus a little crunch left on top. The salt helps to tone down the sweetness, while the apples, depending on which variety you choose, will add a pleasant sweetness and/or tang.
Enjoy the cooler weather with this delicious celebration of the season.

Salted Caramel Apple Bread Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3/4 cup + additional 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 10 cups cubed bread
- 2 medium to large apples peeled and diced
- 9 large egg yolks
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp salted butter melted
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup Salted Caramel Sauce
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spread bread cubes evenly over 2 rimmed baking sheets and toast for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring or tossing every 5 min or so until dry. Meanwhile combine the brown sugar and 1 tbsp of granulated sugar in a small bowl and set aside. Make sure apples are peeled and diced, set aside.

Me too. Everyone else seems to be moving toward pumpkin spice, but I’m all about the salted caramel!
This looks delicious! Perfect way to use those in season apples right now, which we are planning to go pick today!
Yes it is! We’re going to be making applesauce today. We live in the area that is the home of Arbor day, so that means tons of apple orchards. It’s fantastic!
Love all things salted caramel! I’m going to check-out your recipe for the sauce. Thanks for sharing!
‘Tis the season…
Blessings!

I love this recipe, it’s soooo good. My husband likes to have less caramel, but I like more, so I put some on the bread pudding before serving, then I let people add more caramel sauce if they want. My opinion is to have a little pudding with my caramel sauce 😉
Holy mackerel this sounds so delicious! I always say I don’t have a sweet tooth but I may have to revise that. Thanks for bringing it to #SaucySaturdays.
What I love about this is it’s not overly sweet, well, for me it isn’t. You get a good mix of the custard, but also the dryer bread toward the top, then you decide how much salted caramel to add to it all.
This looks AWESOME!! I love caramel apple, Salted caramel AND bread pudding!! This is like the perfect trifecta! 😀 Thank you for sharing this with us at #SaucySaturdays!
You had me at salted caramel and you had my hubby at bread pudding. Now, for the first time in a while we can both enjoy the same dish! Thanks for sharing with Saucy Saturdays!
Oh my this looks fantastic! I’m not in charge of the dessert this week for Christmas…but I may bring one anyways!
you said 2 T salted butter but you didn’t say what to do with it, or when you add it,
Thank you for catching that! I’ve updated the recipe.
