In the unlikely event of leftovers, use them as a delicious foundation for this simple cider doughnut bread pudding.
Salted butter, for the pan
6 cider doughnuts, broken into bite-size pieces
1 large apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
1½ cups half-and-half
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon table salt
Vanilla ice cream and maple syrup, for serving
Butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Arrange the doughnut pieces and chopped apple in the baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this over the doughnut and apple pieces. Let this sit until liquid is absorbed, at least 20 minutes and up to overnight.
Twenty minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 350°F and set a rack to the middle position. Once the oven is hot, bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool and serve with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
