1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 granny smith apples, peeled and chopped

STEPS:
Preheat oven to 380°F. Slice the bread into one inch cubes. In a bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, and cinnamon, stirring until smooth. Add the bread to the milk mixture and mix with your hands until the bread has evenly absorbed the milk mixture.
In a pan, combine the butter, apples, and brown sugar. Sauté and mix the apple mixture with the bread in the bowl. Spread the mixture evenly in a baking pan.
