Apple Raisin Bread Pudding (Gluten-Free, Eggless)

This Apple Raisin Bread Pudding recipe is gluten-free and without eggs! Infused with apple cider, filled with tart apples and raisins, and sweetened with date syrup, this is the perfect fall or holiday treat.
Gluten-Free & Eggless
For those who are allergic to eggs (did you know its a top 9 allergen?!) This recipe isn't as custard-like like traditional recipes, however its just as moist and rich. Apple cider adds both sweetness and moisture. Ghee, a concentrated butter, is key for this recipe as it adds fatty richness.
You can use any gluten-free bread to make bread pudding. However, good bread matters. Use your favorite - one that is flavorful and with solid structure. We're using Bread SRSLY's Gluten-Free Sourdough. It's made with whole ingredients and a fermentation process that gives it its flavorful tang. Bread SRSLY's bread is moist yet absorbent for our sweet apple cider mixture. It's the perfect GF bread for this recipe!
Add Chopped Raisins and Apples
Unlike classic bread pudding, apples and raisins add sweetness without much added sugar. Soft, cinnamon apples add a satisfying bite, and once the raisins soak of the moisture, they are the perfect pockets of sweetness.
