Directions
Tos the apples and bread right into the slow cooker. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they're smooth. Then add the milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the eggs and give everything a good stir. Pour this mixture over the apples and bread in the slow cooker, making sure it’s all nicely coated. Cover and let it cook on high for about 3 to 4 hours, until the custard sets and the pudding is warm and bubbly. Once it’s done, let it sit for a few minutes before serving to let it thicken up a bit. Enjoy!
