Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding

By 158 Comments

My Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding recipe and this blog post was sponsored by KING’S HAWAIIAN® but the opinions are all my own.

Every year my family has a holiday party the week before Christmas, and today’s the big day. We all bring a ridiculous amount of food and just enjoy the day eating, chatting and laughing like crazy.

I’m bringing this delicious slow cooker apple cinnamon raisin bread pudding! It’s full of holiday flavors and is a showpiece dessert that everyone loves.

It’s served nice and warm right out of the slow cooker, and tastes extra yummy with a dollop of ice cream.

The key to the bread pudding is KING’S HAWAIIAN® Sweet Round Bread. That’s what makes it so irresistible. (Check your local Walmart for KING’S HAWAIIAN when you’re picking up holiday essentials.)

You’ll want the bread to be day-old, but if it’s not (and mine never is), don’t worry. There’s an easy solution.

But first cut the Sweet Round Bread into big cubes.

If it’s not day-old, toast the bread cubes on a cookie sheet under the oven broiler until lightly browned. See? I told you there was an easy solution.

Butter the inside of the slow cooker, and then put the bread cubes, apples, raisins and brown sugar in it. Pour the egg/milk mixture over the top, making sure every piece of bread is soaking up the goodness.

Then cover and let the slow cooker do its thing for a few hours.

    Why don’t people try the recipe and then comment, of course it looks good you don’t have to tell us; you intend to make it, who cares, what we want to know is how did it taste after you made it; I think my family would love it, well tell us how your family liked it after you made it; I will make it after I get the ingredients, get your ingredients, make it and then tell us how it tasted; so happy it can be made in the slow cooker, make it in the slow cooker and then tell us how it turned out; I like the idea of ice cream on it, make it, put ice cream on it and then tell us how you like it. Review recipe people, review!!!!

    What a perfect idea for a holiday dessert! Definitely festive and, frankly, the less time I spend in the kitchen on holidays the better. Slow cooker dishes are my bestie on those days. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us at Merry Monday this week!

    I love bread pudding dishes and this is so convenient being able to do it in the slow cooker! I’ll be making it soon to fend off the January freeze we’re suffering! lol

    Wow, that sounds amazing too.. wonder how to lighten that one up a little.. with that one, maybe some applesauce in exchange for a few of the higher fat/sugar ones.. but LOVE the crock pot meals. YUM!

    King’s Hawaiian Bread is a huge favorite in our house. Even though I am not a huge fan of bread pudding my children love it and they would also love it if I made it for them.

    Ok you had me a slow cooker 😉 I’ve never made bread pudding before but if you can use a slow cooker, well I might just have to try your recipe.

    This looks amazing. My mom always made a favorite English break pudding with raisins every Christmas but it was something that took several days to make. I do remember it was awesome. Your recipe is much simpler and looks great.

    This looks amazing. I honestly don’t think I’ve had bread pudding before. I’ll have to try this out because it certainly sounds good. Kings Hawaiian is my favorite too, so I bet it tastes great!

    So this sounds amazingly lethal in a great way. We have a slow cooker and I am going to suggest to my spouse that we try this over the holiday break. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

    There is no wrong way to ever serve Kings Hawaiian. I normally just eat the rolls with too much butter on them, but your recipe looks amazing!

    That. Looks. AMAZING! I love that it can be made in the slow cooker. That is my favorite way to cook anything. And we are big Kings Hawaiian fans here.

    Once things slow down a little, I want to try this recipe. I use my slow cooker quite often, and have more than one… or two. I have 4 upstairs and then a unit that has 4 built in. Who knows why I have so many, but I do use them.

    We make bread pudding every Winter, multiple times- usually an overnight bake recipe. I’ll have to give the Crock-Pot version a go. Thanks for sharing!

    Few things are as comforting as bread pudding. And this one looks particularly so, with the apples and raisins, two of my favorite things. I’ve never tried making bread pudding in my slow cooker, but I think it’s time! Thanks for the recipe.
