 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3                    Eggs
  1 1/4   c            Sugar
  1 1/2   t            Nutmeg
  1 1/2   t            Vanilla extract
  1 1/2   t            Ground cinnamon
    1/4   c            Unsalted butter
  2 1/4   c            Milk
    1/2   c            Raisins
    1/2   c            Chopped pecans
  5       c            Stale french bread cubed
  1                    Chopped apple
  2                    Eggs
  2       c            Icing sugar
    1/2   lb           Unsalted butter
    1/4   c            Bourbon whisky

 With an electric mixer, beat eggs until frothy (about 3 minutes).  Add
 sugar, nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon, and beat until well blended.  In
 a sauce, heat the butter and milk until the butter melts (but do not
 allow it to boil).  In a large bowl, mix together raisins, pecans and
 bread cubes.  Combine the milk and egg mixtures, pour this over the
 bread and allow it to soak for 45 minutes.  Preheat oven to 350
 degrees F.  Lightly grease individual ramekins or a large loaf pan.
 Add the apple to the bread pudding, and spoon mixture into the baking
 container.  Place in oven immediately reduce heat 300 degrees F and
 bake for 40 minutes.  Increase heat to 425 degrees F and bake for
 another 15 minutes until nicely browned.  To make bourbon sauce,
 combine 2 eggs and icing sugar.  Melt butter in a double broiler,
 whisk in egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has
 melted and sauce has thickened slightly. Allow to cool, and add
 bourbon.  Serve over bread pudding.
