mug apple bread pudding in microwave
Quick and easy apple bread pudding recipe using a mug and cooked in the microwave.
Equipment
- microwave
Ingredients
- 1 cup bread cubes dried and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup half and half
- ½ apple skinned and cut into small bite sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Cut a couple slices of bread into 1" pieces. Spread them out to dry. If your bread is fresh, you can dry out as instructed above in the oven or air fryer.
- Prep your two mugs with nonstick spray or rubbing butter on the interior of the mugs.
- In a large bowl whisk together the half and half and eggs until smooth. Add the sugar and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
- Add the dried bread chunks to the egg custard mixture, pressing the bread cubes down so they are submerged in the custard.
- Peel and cut up your apple into small bite sized pieces.
- Begin layering your bread pudding in the mugs. I put a scoop of the bread custard mixture in the bottom of each mug, then sprinkled some apple pieces on top. They I kept repeating until the mugs were full.
- Bake the bread pudding in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. You want to make sure the egg custard mixture has cooked. I tipped the mug a little to see if any egg mixture would run out (over the sink). My microwave took 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
- Serve warm! You can finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce.
