"What a great way to use old baguettes. Delicious and easy bread pudding. We love it warm with vanilla ice cream and if there are any leftovers, we have it for breakfast."

I modified this recipe to cut down on fat and eliminate sugar. I used 2 cups of milk and 3 eggs instead of the heavy cream and egg yolks. I also replaced the sugar with a 1/2 cup of agave nectar and added more apples and some nutmeg. The result was good, but not overwhelming.
