Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350.

2. 2

   In large bowl, beat together milk, vanilla, sugars, and eggs.

3. 3

   Tear bread into 1 inch pieces and stir into liquid mixture.

4. 4

   Stir in the apples.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into an 8x8 baking dish.

6. 6

   To make a water bath (this is an easy way to ensure even cooking), take a slightly larger pan and pour hot water into it. Place the 8x8 pan into the water bath (water should rise halfway up the pan).

7. 7

   Bake 45 to 55 minutes until pudding sets (mine was the consistency of thick eggnog), and the top is light brown and a bit crunchy.
