preview for Al Roker and Daughter Courtney Roker Laga Make Apple Cider Doughnut Bread Pudding

Excerpted from the book Al Roker's Recipes To Live By: Easy, Memory-Making Family Dishes For Every Occasion by Al Roker and Courtney Roker Laga. Copyright ©️ 2024 by Al Roker.

After the Rokers have stripped an orchard of all the apples, we take our greed over to the apple-cider doughnut stand, where I order a dozen. "No, wait, two. Three. Yes, three dozen please." A freshly baked, warm apple-cider doughnut is like the White Castle burger: When they're fresh and hot, they're about the greatest thing going on, but once they cool, they sink a couple of notches to meh. What to do with all the extra doughnuts? Bread pudding! Douse those babies in custard and bake, and you've given the doughnuts a second chance to shine and yourself a reason to overbuy next year.

Tip: If you can't get apple-cider doughnuts, you can substitute plain cake doughnuts.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray

  • 3

    large eggs

  • 2 cups

    heavy cream

  • 1 cup

    whole milk

  • 1/2 cup

    (100 g.) granulated sugar

  • 1/2 tsp.

    ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp.

    pure vanilla extract

  • 10

    apple-cider doughnuts, preferably 1 to 2 days old, cut into 1" pieces

  • 1/2 cup

    firmly packed light brown sugar

  • 2 Tbsp.

    powdered sugar

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350°F, with a rack in the middle. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
    2. Step 2Whisk eggs, cream, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in a large bowl.
    3. Step 3Scatter doughnut pieces in prepared baking dish. Pour custard mixture over them, pressing doughnuts down so they soak up the custard. Let sit for 15 minutes, or until doughnuts absorb custard.
    4. Step 4Sprinkle top with brown sugar, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake for about 15 minutes, or until top is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from oven and let cool, about 10 minutes.
    5. Step 5Top with powdered sugar and serve warm.
