This is a great way to use up leftover bread. I like this made with challah but you could also make it with French or Italian bread. Use whatever dried fruit you have on hand - my personal favourite is apricots, but it is also good with cranberries or cherries. Please note that the standing time is included in the cooking time.
In a lightly greased 2 cup baking dish, toss together the bread cubes, apple and dried fruit.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar and vanilla.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk with the butter just until steaming; gradually whisk into the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream.
Pour over the bread mixture.
Let stand for 5 minutes; press gently to moisten the bread evenly.
Sprinkle with cinnamon to taste.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or just until puffed and a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Broil for about 2 minutes or until golden and crusty.
