1 1/2 cups evaporated milk or whipping cream
2 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

3. Spoon into casserole. Put apple slices decoratively on top.
4. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or til muffin filling (which becomes a custard) just begins to brown and appears lightly set. Remove from oven and drizzle on warm caramel sauce. cut into squares and serve warm, chilled or at room temperature with cream or creme anglaise. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Tips:

To achieve the perfect texture for your bread pudding, use a combination of fresh and slightly stale bread. This will help the pudding hold its shape while still being moist and flavorful.
For a richer flavor, use a combination of milk and cream. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra depth of flavor.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice is a classic, but you can also try adding ginger, cardamom, or even a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Be sure to soak the bread cubes in the milk mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the bread absorb the liquid and prevent it from becoming dry.
Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help create a moist and evenly cooked pudding.
Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
