Description

Day-old apple cider donuts, half-and-half, eggs, apples, and a little maple syrup combine to make this decadent cider donut bread pudding.

Ingredients

cooking spray
6 day-old cider donuts, broken into bite-sized pieces
1 large apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup white sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons maple syrup, or more to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Mix donut pieces and apple together in the prepared baking dish.
3 Whisk half-and-half, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Pour mixture into the baking dish and let sit, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes.
5 Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup.
