Nana's Bread Pudding 
From Denise  

 Here is the recipe from my Great Grandma.  She was a cook for the Vanderbilt's after she came over here from Ireland.  I'm sure you can use raisin bread.
 

Nana's Bread Pudding 
 

1 cup sugar

3 cups milk or 1 1/2 cup milk and 1 1/2 cup heavy cream

3  eggs

6  slices of bread (2 crusts for the top so they are whole and 4 slices buttered and cubed

1 tsp vanilla

1  apple, sliced very thin

 butter for bread

 sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top
 

Beat sugar and eggs together.  Add 3 cups milk or milk and cream- blend, add vanilla and cut up apple. Butter bread and break into cubes and fill baking dish with bread.  Pour batter over bread, making sure bread is covered with liquid.  Place 2 buttered crusts over and push down to get some liquid on them. Place in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour. We make in a round Pyrex casserole dish and place it on a cookie sheet with rim so it doesn't slip off. Serve a little warm with whipped cream.
