Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350*F/180*C/ gas mark 4. Have ready a 5 X 5 inch baking dish or the equivalent along with a larger baking dish that will hold the smaller baking dish comfortably.
Butter the small baking dish generously. Place the cubed bread, spread out evenly, into the buttered dish.
Whisk the milk, cream, beaten egg, brown sugar, maple syrup and vanilla together in a measuring cup until fully combined. You want the sugar to be melted into the liquid.
Pour this mixture evenly over top of the bread cubes, ensuring that all of the bread pieces are coated.
Scatter the apples and the nuts over top of the bread cubes, poking them down into the custard a bit.
Whisk together the sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle over top evenly. Dot the butter over top to add richness.
Place into the larger casserole dish and fill the dish with boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
