Caramel Apple Bread Pudding {Pampered Chef Giveaway}
This Caramel Apple Bread Pudding is the perfect cozy, Fall dessert! Full of cinnamon, apples, and topped with caramel sauce, the flavor is full of delicious comfort.
Are you a bread pudding person?
Surprisingly, I am. I’m super picky about soggy bread, so it was kind of surprising to me that I love bread pudding as much as I do, but it’s honestly one of my favorites. It’s not one of those desserts you have often though, is it? Kind of weird because bread pudding is so easy to make, but you never see anyone showing up at a potluck with a big ol’ bread pudding.
Can I just say though, that someone should? And by someone, I mean a person that comes to any potluck I attend. And by bring it to the potluck, I actually mean bring it to my HOUSE before the potluck starts so I can have it all to myself.
This particular bread pudding is extra special for a couple of reasons. First off, it’s amazing. Seriously the MOST amazing bread pudding of my life. French bread, cinnamon, and apples all nestled together and covered in buttery caramel sauce. Hello, new best friend. I think we can all agree that human best friends are entirely overrated, correct?
But the MAIN reason this bread pudding is so special is because it’s a great way of drawing your attention to a new campaign from The Pampered Chef called Round Up from the Heart. Round Up from the Heart is an initiative that focuses on America’s hungry — according to Feeding American, 1 in 6 Americans face hunger. And because there is no excuse for so many of our brothers and sisters to starve when we live in a country full of such abundance, The Pampered Chef is giving you some great opportunities to give back!
Since it’s beginning in 1991, Round Up from the Heart has raised 24 million dollars for Feeding America, simply by encouraging shoppers to round up their total order price to the nearest dollar amount (or more, if they so wish). This year, you can also contribute by purchasing Round Up from the Heart Nourish Soup Bowls. $2 from every Nourish Soup Bowl purchase goes right to Feeding America.
As we head towards the holidays and the height of baking season, it is my sincere wish that you will consider purchasing gifts and your own baking necessities from The Pampered Chef and while you’re at it, making a contribution to the Round Up from the Heart Campaign. 100% of your contribution will benefit your local member of the Feeding America network to help those in need in YOUR OWN COMMUNITY. When we live in homes where eating is something we do mindlessly, where we stand in front of an open fridge full of SO many things to eat we can’t even decide, it can be hard to imagine that so many hungry people live in America.
But they do. I personally went through a time as a teenager, when a drastic change in our family resulted in a huge and immediate decline in income. Food was extremely scarce, and sometimes even nonexistent. There are kids every day who are relying on free school breakfasts and lunches to give them nourishment enough to last until the next day. So when I say that hunger is a cause that is close to my heart, I 100% mean it.
And to thank you for just being amazing people, and taking the time to learn about the Round Up from the Heart Campaign, I have teamed up with The Pampered Chef to give you a pretty fabulous set of Pampered Chef products!
One of you will win:
Set of 4 Nourish Soup Bowls
RETAIL VALUE: $198
I used the Rockcrock Dutch Oven to make the Caramel Apple Bread Pudding — it’s amazing! I made the sauce in it, then added the other ingredients and popped the whole thing right in the oven. The glazed ceramic stands up to temperatures of 752 F, browns food perfectly evenly, and resists thermal shock. It can go straight from the oven to the fridge if you need it to! This dutch oven will definitely be used over and over this Fall!
Here’s the recipe for the Caramel Apple Bread Pudding, and be sure to read below for instructions for entering to win!
Ingredients
- 4 cups French bread cubes
- 2 cups peeled and diced Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Caramel Sauce:
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Place your brown sugar, milk, and butter in your Rockcrock Dutch Oven on the stove over medium heat. Cook and stir until the butter is melted. Remove from heat. Add your bread and apples and stir to coat. In a small bowl, whisk together cinnamon, cloves, eggs, and vanilla. Pour evenly over bread mixture.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, until pudding is browned, set, and apples are tender.
- While bread pudding is baking, prepare caramel sauce: Bring your water, sugar, and butter to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until mixture is dark golden brown, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour the cream into the sugar mixture, in a slow, steady stream. It will bubble up and the sugar will seem to form a big clump. Just keep stirring and eventually it will become smooth. Continue cooking and stirring for about 10 minutes, until mixture is smooth and has thickened a bit. Set aside to cool -- it will thicken as it cools, so don't worry if it seems too thin at first!
- Pour caramel sauce generously over bowls of bread pudding and enjoy.

What’s not to like at the Pampered CHef website. I would love a Dutch oven. I have never had one and just always made due. However if you want to give me one…well that would be alright. I guess right? Thank you for speaking out about hunger as it lurks just outside so many of our doors. For most of us $2 isn’t anything. Thanks again. Love your site and the recipes are killing me . Literally!

I would LOVE that grill pan dinner set!
I know this sounds sooooo boring but I really am in desperate need of new pots and pans!! It was the one HUGE item I never got for my wedding and it’s a pricey one. I would love to get a new set and trash my wonky, burnt, nasty pots and pans!
Do I have to choose just one? I’m in need of a good grill pan, so the dinner set is on my list. So is the cutlery, the stoneware, the cookware…
EDutch oven would be great to win. I love (have) so many

I love their spatulas!
I love all their products, but would love the Rockcrok Dinner Set next.
The Rockcrock Dutch Oven. It’s one of the few things of theirs I don’t have. Why, I don’t know!!!!!
I need a dutch oven. I have always just made due wit what I have on hand. It would be great to have one of my own!
This looks absolutely delicious!! Is this a dessert you can make ahead earlier in the day and serve after a dinner? I’m trying to remember if the bread pudding I’ve had was warm, but I’m drawing a total blank.
I would love the stoneware deep dish pie plate. And if there is anyway I can connect with Erin (reply #7), I have accumulated several of the small pan scrapers and would be happy to send you a couple.
I love the 1-cup prep bowl set, that is such a great idea! I also would love some biscuit cutters, and a digital scale….ugh there is just way too much to choose from!
I would love to have the Grill Pan Dinner Set!
My favorite thing from Pampered Chef is the mini bar pan that fits in my toaster oven. I use it for everything!! I also had a small round stoneware baker that, sadly, broke. I would love to have a replacement for that!!
Everything I’ve ever gotten from them I love! I’d LIKE a grill pan, but I could USE a new cheese grater.
The Ice Cream Scoop!!
I would love the double burner grill and grill press set, thanks for the giveaway!
Love the cookware, especially the stoneware.
I would LOVE the grill press.
I love, love, love Bread Pudding. I’ve made Ina Garten’s Breakfast Croissant bread pudding several times to great acclaim and, “please could I have some more”. The combination of apples, cinnamon and French bread is unbeatable — so I have to try your recipe. Love me a set of the Bamboo Spatulas.
What a great campaign and giveaway. And, what a great recipe! Bread pudding is my fave, but I usually forget how much I like it because I get distracted by chocolate desserts!
So simple, but I have had my eye on the Pampered Chef apple peeler/corer/slicer for years! We have an apple tree in our back year, and that thing would be in constant use during the fall.
I love the stoneware on PC!
Biscuit cutters! And maybe that snowflake scraper for baking with my girls during the holdiays
I love Pampered Chef and I love that they do this campaign to help so many people. I would love their Grill Pan Set. I’ve always wanted a grill pan and just haven’t taken the plunge, but their set looks amazing and looks like it would cook amazing food. Thanks for the giveaway!

I only have one stoneware loaf pan but all my recipes call for two loafs. Count me in for a new stoneware loaf pan!
The Dutch oven would actually be my top choice right now! I’ve always wanted one, but haven’t allowed myself to make that purchase yet!
I would love to have the small rectangle baker!
I always wondered how their Stoneware Cookie Sheet fared, so that would be my choice. Thanks!
I need a new mini-serving spatula. Mine died a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t think Pampered Chef stuff could do that!
Any of the bar pans. I’m new to pampered chef and the stonewhere looks interesting.
I love bread pudding so I definitely need to add it to my list of recipes. I have a tendency to buy all things Pampered Chef, but I do not have the Rockcrock Dutch Oven. I would love to add that to my collection.
There are so many awesome things that I love but I think the one I use all the time is the cool tray. We have alot of get togethers and football parties and it definately comes in handy!!!
Their Covered Roaster is on my wish list.
The rockcrock dutch oven!
Honestly, I need a new mandoline and garlic press. I loved my Pampered Chef mandoline & garlic press! But apparently, so did someone who no longer lives under my roof. And even though I’m ‘making do’ with cheapie ones, I want my PF again!

The Dutch Oven would be wonderful and bread pudding is my absolute favorite comfort food; I love my Pampered Chef pizza stones-have had them for about 20 years.
What a fun giveaway! Love the bread pudding. I am really weird about soggy bread too. Will not even touch a sub with soggy bread!
I have had my eye on the Mix n’Chop and the Mix n’ chunk!!!
Pampered Chef products are the greatest. I love my kitchen stocked with Pampered Chef products. They make cooking meals for my family so easy to prepare, cook, serve and clean up. the new rockcrok casserole would be a great addition to my kitchen.
I really, really, REALLY want the Rockcrok Dutch Oven!!! I’d definitely try the Bread Pudding, but I want it for Risotto. That’s my favorite thing from their catalog!!!
My wishlist includes the stainless cookware.
I love Pampered Chef! Thanks so much for the giveaway! One thing from my wish list would be the silicone crown cake pan. It looks like so much fun!
Many things on my wishlist …. I’d like the stainless steel mixing bowl set, and I’d like these soup bowls too!

I’m impressed with all of the Pampered Chef goodies and their receipes. I would like to have the use of one of their baker’s as my own.

You know, the fact that you are teaming up with such a good cause is the most important part of this post. I don’t need very much to make my cooking experience better – I’m a pretty simple cook, so if I am chosen I definitely will be grateful for any of the gifts.
