Cinnamon Apple Pie Bread Pudding

Cinnamon Apple Pie Bread Pudding is a simple yet delicious dessert or breakfast that tastes like a combination of apple pie and cinnamon rolls.

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.

So will you make this Cinnamon Apple Pie Bread Pudding for breakfast or dessert?
