Apple Bread Pudding

Once again my house has been infiltrated with apples. My mil brings them to me and then they sit in my refrigerator until I figure out something to do with them. I was going to make Apple Bread but I don't have yeast so I settled on a recipe I found here instead for apple bread pudding. I did do slight tweaks to the recipe but for the most part followed it exactly.  Here's the recipe in case you don't want to go over to the other site. I always find it helpful to see what other people do and don't do though.

Pudding

4 cups soft bread cubes

1/4 cup raisins

2 cups peeled and sliced apples - I chopped mine

1 cup brown sugar

1 3/4 cups milk

1/4 cup margarine - I used butter

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - I used 1/4 teaspoon

 2 eggs beaten

Sauce

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup margarine - I used 1/4 cup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract - I used 1/2 teaspoon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 7x11 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine bread, raisins, and apples. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1 3/4 cups milk, and 1/4 cup margarine. Cook and stir until margarine is melted. Pour over bread mixture in bowl.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and eggs. Pour bread mixture into prepared dish, and pour egg mixture over bread.
4. Bake in preheated oven 40 to 50 minutes, or until center is set and apples are tender.
5. While pudding is baking, mix together sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup margarine in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Serve over bread pudding.
