FOR THE BREAD PUDDING:
5 cups Cubed Bread
1/2 cups Half-and-half
1/2 cups Milk
1 cup Cooked Mashed Sweet Potato
2 whole Eggs
1/2 cups Sugar
1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
FOR THE APPLES:
2 whole Large Granny Smith Apples, Peeled, Cored And Sliced
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
FOR THE CARAMEL PECAN SAUCE:
1/2 cups Chopped Pecans
1/2 cups Light Brown Sugar
1/4 cups Butter
1/2 cups Light Corn Syrup
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla

1
Place cubed bread into a large bowl.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together all the other bread pudding ingredients. Pour this over the bread and stir to thoroughly combine. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 8.
3
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease six 6-ounce ramekins; set aside.
4
In a small bowl, toss together the apple slices with the lemon juice and cinnamon.
5
In a skillet, melt together the butter and the brown sugar over medium-high heat. Add the apple slices and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the apples are just starting to soften around the edges and are coated in the butter and brown sugar. Remove pan from heat.
6
Divide the apple slices evenly into the bottoms of each prepared ramekin, topping with any remaining brown sugar sauce.
7
Spoon the chilled bread mixture on top of the apples.
8
Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes, covering them with foil after 30 minutes.
9
During the last 15 minutes of baking, prepare the sauce: In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 3-5 minutes (stirring frequently), or until toasted and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
10
In a small saucepan, cook the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup over medium heat, stirring frequently for about 3-4 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and pecans.
11
When the bread puddings have finished baking, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the caramel sauce. Bake for an additional 5 minutes (uncovered), until sauce is heated through and begins to bubble. Serve warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
