Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Use cooking spray to grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the milk, vanilla, eggs, Brown Sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix well. Add the bread and let stand until it is softened, about 10 minutes, depending on the dryness of the bread. Stir in the chopped apples.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Mix the cinnamon and Brown Sugar together and sprinkle over the bread mixture. Cut the 2 tablespoons of butter into little pieces and scatter them over the top.
Bake in preheated oven for about 50 to 55 minutes or until the pudding puffs and turns golden. Remove from the oven and let stand about 10 minutes before serving.
To serve, top with whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

Notes

While the classic recipe is a treat on its own, feel free to personalize it with various add-ins like chocolate chips, dried fruits, or nuts. A splash of your favorite liqueur, such as rum or mezcal, can also infuse a surprising twist of flavor.
Any bread will work and always opt for a bread that's slightly stale or day-old; this helps the pudding soak up the custard without turning overly mushy. Classics like bolillo, brioche, or challah work wonders due to their sturdy yet absorbent texture.
