Apple Bread Pudding

Ingredients:
*1 apple (Granny Smith will do fine), peeled, cored and sliced
* 4 TBSP cooking wine or brandy
* 1/2 cup sugar, divided in half
* about 12 baguette slices or 5 brioche slices, crust removed
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 1 cup heavy cream
* vanilla extract and or almond extract
Directions:
Mix the beaten eggs with half of the sugar and the cream and set aside.
Grease a shallow cooking dish and arrange the apple slices in a single layer (my dish was way too small).
Sprinkle the rest of the sugar over the apples and pour the wine/brandy over them.
Arrange the bread slices on top and then pour the egg/cream mixture over.
Let soak at least 30 min.
Bake at 350 for at least 30 min.
Serve warm with Brandy sauce.
