Cider Donut Bread Pudding

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 6 day-old cider donuts, broken into bite-sized pieces
• 1 large apple – peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1.5 cups half-and-half
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2. Mix donut pieces and apple together in the prepared baking dish.
3. Whisk half-and-half, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Pour mixture into the baking dish and let sit, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

5. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup.
