Food description:
For dessert, this recipe delivers the cozy richness people often want from apple-based baking without relying entirely on pie. Cubes of bread soak in a Apple Nectar custard before baking into a soft, golden pudding that feels nostalgic, generous, and luxurious.
It is a particularly strong choice for a lifestyle brand because it feels inviting and celebratory at the same time. Served warm, it has the kind of homey charm that pairs beautifully with a glass of something spiced, chilled, or sparkling from the Old World Nectar line.
Ingredients:
6 cups cubed day-old bread
1 cup Old World Apple Nectar
1 cup apple cider
1 cup milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place bread cubes in a greased baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together Apple Nectar, apple cider, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. Pour over bread and let sit for 15 minutes.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until set and lightly golden. Let cool slightly before serving warm.
Garnish:
Powdered sugar and a light drizzle of warm cider sauce
