This delightful twist on a traditional German dessert combines the sweetness of apples with the comforting texture of bread pudding. Made lighter with minimal butter and just the right amount of milk and eggs, it's a guilt-free indulgence that's perfect for any time of day.

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 2. In a bowl, mix the diced apple with cinnamon and honey (if using). 3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and a pinch of salt. 4. Add the melted butter to the egg mixture and stir until combined. 5. In a greased small baking dish, layer the cubed bread and the apple mixture, ensuring the apples are evenly distributed. 6. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the bread and apples, pressing down gently to soak the bread. 7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and the pudding is set. 8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
