This Hawaiian Apple Bread Pudding is over the top scrumptious! Made with King’s Hawaiian Sweet Bread, apples, and an applesauce custard, this bread pudding is the perfect breakfast or dessert for your weekend.
Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position.
Cut bread into bite size pieces and place in a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle raisins and apples over the bread and gently toss the top half just a bit so the fruit is slightly mixed in. Set aside.
Melt butter, sugar, milk, and salt together in a saucepan over low heat. Let mixture cool to just warm. Add applesauce and stir. Stir in eggs (mixture can't be hot or eggs will cook.) Evenly ladle vanilla over the top. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and nutmeg over top. Bake 45-55 min or just until middle is set and top is golden brown and puffy. Keep watch after about 35 minutes - if it's browning too quickly, lightly tent with foil for the remaining bake time.
