Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450º F.
• Place bread cubes in an 8x8 pan. The bottom of the pan should be covered, and the bread should be about 1 1/2 inches deep. Sprinkle raisins and dates evenly over the bread.
• In a medium mixing bowl, mix milk, eggs, and vanilla, and pour over bread.
• Meanwhile, add apples and 1/2 cup of water to a medium saucepan and cover. Heat on medium-high until apples begin to break down, about 10 minutes. Crush apples with a fork, and add sugar, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. Add more sugar to taste if desired. Pour applesauce over bread. Add raisins, dates, and nuts to the bread mixture, then stir gently with a fork to incorporate it through the bread.
• Bake uncovered 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden.
• Serve warm with honey or syrup, and top with fruit
• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days in the fridge.
