Active Time : 30 Minutes
Total Time : 1 Hour 25 Minutes
Serves : 12
INGREDIENTS
  • 6 cups stale 1 inch bread cubes
  • 4 cups peeled and chopped apples
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 1/2 cups Kemps milk
  • 1 1/2 cups Kemps whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar for pudding and syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for pudding and syrup
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 9 tablespoons butter for pudding and syrup
  • 3/4 cup Kemps buttermilk for syrup
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup for syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda for syrup
DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the bread cubes are dried out but not toasted.

Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss together bread cubes and apple pieces. Transfer to baking dish.

In the same large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, milk, whipping cream, brown sugar, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, almond extract, and cinnamon. When combined, continue to whisk while pouring over the bread and apple mixture.

Gently combine the bread and egg mixture, making sure each piece of bread is soaking in part of the egg and milk mixture. Allow to stand for at least 15 minutes.

Evenly distribute 1 tablespoon chopped butter over the bread and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the center is set but not dry or burned.

Remove from oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve drizzled with warm Buttermilk syrup and a scoop of Kemps Vanilla Ice Cream if you're feeling extra indulgent.

For the Buttermilk Syrup, Combine Kemps buttermilk, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 8 tablespoons butter, corn syrup and baking soda in a large soup style pot. This will boil very high. Bring ingredients to a boil and reduce heat to low, keeping a constant bubble. Stir very frequently, for 8 to 9 minutes. Syrup will be golden-brown in color when done. Remove from heat and add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
