Cinnamon Apple Pie Bread Pudding is a simple yet delicious dessert or breakfast that tastes like a combination of apple pie and cinnamon rolls.
A delicious, sweet bread pudding with apples, cinnamon, walnuts, and sugar drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze that is super easy to make.
It is about this time in August when the temperatures reach 100 that I start dreaming about fall….cooler weather, fall colors, and fall foods, especially apples.
I was reading Real Housemom’s blog post where she mentioned driving to the Oregon coast when temperatures reached 100. In Southeast Texas there is nowhere I can drive to escape the heat. I could drive to the Texas Gulf coast and get a breeze to go with the 95 degree temperatures but that is about it.
So instead I cranked up the air conditioner and started baking. For me to make dessert, you know it has to be simple. I can’t decorate a cake or cupcake to save my life.
The dessert is so delicious yet so easy and budget friendly. Just bread, cream, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, apple pie filling, walnuts, and a sweet icing. It tastes like an apple pie cinnamon roll. It would be perfect for breakfast or dessert, and it will feed a crowd.
I can think of nothing better than waking up and to a serving of this Cinnamon Apple Pie Bread Pudding, with a cup of coffee. Thinking about some personalization to your coffee mugs? Shutterfly has many mug templates and patterns that can inspire you.

Cinnamon Apple Pie Bread Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound loaf challah bread or french bread, or cinnamon bread
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon divided
- 5 eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla divided
- 1 (20 ounce can) apple pie filling (or make your own)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (adjust the amount of milk to desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Either spray with cooking spray or grease and flour a 9×13 baking dish.
- Cut or tear bread into 1-inch bite size pieces. Spread evenly into the baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together cream, milk, sugar, eggs, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Pour mixture over bread cubes and let sit about 5 minutes.
- Spread apple pie filling over the top of the bread. Sprinkle walnuts evenly over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes or until puffed and browned on top.

Do you think this could be made in the crockpot?
Christina says
This looks amazing but my son is allergic to walnuts. Do you have a topping replacement alternative? Oats? Thanks!
Michele says
Hi Christina,
I think it would be delicious even without the walnuts and no substitutions. However, if you wanted to add oats, that would be an option.

Tammy kubitz says
I made this today. I halved the recipe in an 8×8. I also made my own apple pie filling with honeycrisp apples
Jen says
Hey, should it be refrigerated?
Michele says
Hi Jen,
Thanks for the question. It should be served warm. However, to store, I recommend covering it, preferably in an airtight container, or covering with wrap as tightly as possible. Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
Thanks,
Michele
