Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 F (163 C) and generously butter a 9x9 inch baking dish.
Soak raisins in 2 tablespoons bourbon for 20 minutes; drain and reserve liquor.
Sauté sliced apples with maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon over medium-low heat for 8 minutes until translucent; set aside.
Place bread cubes in a large bowl. Heat cream and sugar over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves.
Pour hot cream mixture over bread cubes and cool.
Lightly beat eggs with 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, vanilla, and reserved liquor. Fold this into the bread cube mixture. Then fold in melted butter and prepared apples.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
For the Bourbon Sauce: Melt butter in a heavy saucepan. Add sugar, cream, and salt; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in bourbon and vanilla.
