Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture smooth.

Set the blended mixture aside.

Cut whole grain sourdough bread into cubes.

Put the bread cubes in a parchment lined 8x8 baking dish.

Chop apples into bite-sized pieces and add them to the baking dish with the bread.

Toss the bread and apple pieces together using your hands.

Pour the custard mixture over the bread and apples, ensuring every dry piece is coated.

Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top of the mixture.

Bake at 350°F for about 65 to 70 minutes.
