1/2 cup raisins
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Place bread cubes in a bowl.
  • Mix together apple, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar (if using any, I find it too sweet when I add suagr but others in my family like this with added sugar), 6 eggs, and both milks, almond extract, and vanilla in a a separate bowl. Pour this mixture over bread cubes and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • Pour into bread mixture into the greased dish or muffin tins.
