Kiley’s recipe for apple pie bread pudding is made with brioche bread, custard, and homemade filling. It makes eight to 10 servings, which is more than enough for several mornings of sweet breakfasts or to pair with ice cream after dinner.
Ingredients:
- 12 thick slices of brioche bread or brioche rolls
- 1 3/4 pounds of apples
- 4 tablespoons of salted butter
- 2 1/2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice
- 3/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of salted butter
- 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 4 room-temperature eggs
Directions:
First, cut up your brioche bread or rolls into one-inch cubes and let them dry out overnight. The following day, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a round 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
You could also use a 9-inch square baking pan. Line it with a sheet of parchment paper that covers the sides and bottom of the pan.
Next, prepare the apple pie filling with the apples of your choice. You will need approximately five apples. Kiley used a mixture of Gala and Granny Smith apples.

Peel and dice the apples. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the four tablespoons of butter, two and a half tablespoons of flour, and apple pie spice. Stir well, then add the brown sugar and stir again.
Add the diced apples and water, stir, and cover. Cook the apples until they are soft, which will take about 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure to stir the mixture occasionally. Afterward, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the juices. Save them to use on the bread pudding later.
Then, prepare the custard. Combine the milk, heavy cream, one and a half tablespoons of salted butter, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium/low heat. Whisk until the butter has melted.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the eggs one at a time. Whisk the mixture between each egg. Set the custard aside. The next step is to place a third of the bread cubes into the bottom of your baking pan.
Press down to flatten the bread and spread about a third of the apple pie filling on top. Finish by layering the last of the bread cubes and the apple pie filling.
Pour the custard over the bread. Make sure each piece is covered. Finally, bake it for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden. Remove it from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes.
Take the apple pie bread pudding out of the pan and serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and the juices from the apple pie filling!

Grease a 9” round (or 8” or 9” square) baking pan with cooking spray, then line with a sheet of parchment paper that covers the bottom and sides. Place onto a baking sheet; set aside. Start by preparing the apple pie filling. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and apple pie spice, and stir well. Then, add the brown sugar and stir. Add the diced apples and water, stir and cover. Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft, stirring occasionally (10-15 minutes). Remove from the heat and strain the juices, saving them to top the bread pudding later. Prepare the custard. Combine all of the ingredients for the custard, except for the eggs, in saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk to combine until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat, add the eggs one at a time, and whisk in between each addition. DO NOT cook any longer, the custard will thicken as it cooks in the oven. Set aside. Cut the bread into 1” cubes. Place 1/3 of the bread cubes into the bottom of the prepared pan. Press down to compress. Spread about 1/3 of the apple pie filling on top of the bread cubes. Place another 1/3 of the bread cubes on top, press down, and spread another 1/3 of the apple pie filling. Finish by topping with the last 1/3 of bread cubes, and the rest of the apple pie filling. Pour the custard all over the bread, making sure all of the pieces are well-soaked. Gently press down on the bread to make sure there are no dry parts. Then, sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar if desired. Baker 350F for 35-40 minutes on a baking sheet, until the top is golden and set, but still slightly wobbly when shaken. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and the juices from the apple pie filling.
