8 slices raisin bread, cubed
2 to 3 medium size tart apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups half and half
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted

Place bread cubes, apples, pecans in well greased slow cooker and mix gently.

Combine sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Pour over bread mixture. Cover. Cook on low 3-4 hours, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Serve with ice cream. This is also good with a Caramel Rum Sauce found on this website as "Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce".
