Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish lightly with softened butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute to fully incorporate the eggs.
Step 3
Add the cubed bread and diced apples to the custard mixture and stir gently until all bread pieces are saturated. Let sit for 5 minutes so the bread absorbs the custard.
Step 4
Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Press down gently with the back of a spoon to ensure the bread is submerged in the custard.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached—not completely clean. The pudding will continue to cook slightly as it cools.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes at room temperature for the structure to set. Drizzle with maple syrup just before serving, and serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt if desired.
