Apple Bread Pudding

I've made loaves of apple bread and banana bread recently, and both times we ended up with a few slices that get dry before we get around to eating them.  I really hate to waste them and throw them away, so I decided to try this bread pudding recipe with the leftover apple bread.  YUM.  This recipe would still be great with sliced bread or French bread, and you could just slice up some apples and add them in the dish for that flavor.  It would also be great with banana bread and some chopped pecans.  It was very easy to put together, and it was decadent and especially delicious with vanilla ice cream. 

Apple Bread Pudding

3 eggs
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 3/4 cups hot water
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups cubed bread

Preheat oven to 350.  In a large bowl, beat eggs.  Add sweetened condensed milk, hot water, butter, cinnamon, and vanilla.  Stir in bread, moistening completely.  Turn into a 9" square baking pan. 

Bake 55-60 minutes, or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.  Serve warm; refrigerate leftovers.
