Place bread cubes in a bowl.
Mix together apple, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar (if using any, I find it too sweet when I add suagr but others in my family like this with added sugar), 6 eggs, and both milks, almond extract, and vanilla in a a separate bowl. Pour this mixture over bread cubes and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
Pour into bread mixture into the greased dish or muffin tins.

Ingredients

6 apple spice crumb muffins, from costco
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk or whipping cream
2 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 cups small diced apples, peeled if you wish
1 large red apple, cut in thin slices
caramel sundae topping, warmed

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Generously spray a 3 to 4 quart ovenproof casserole/serving dish with cooking spray.
2. Prepare muffins by cutting into coarse pieces, about 1 inch square. Set aside. In large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, salt, sugar, butter, flour and baking powder. Add muffin chunks and diced apples and blend well but gently. Take care to not break apart the muffin chunks. Let stand for 10 minutes.
3. Spoon into casserole. Put apple slices decoratively on top.
4. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or til muffin filling (which becomes a custard) just begins to brown and appears lightly set. Remove from oven and drizzle on warm caramel sauce. cut into squares and serve warm, chilled or at room temperature with cream or creme anglaise. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
5. You can also make this one to two days ahead and refrigerate til you're ready to bake it.

Tips:

Use day-old bread: Stale bread absorbs the custard better, resulting in a more flavorful and moist bread pudding.
Don't overmix the custard: Overmixing can result in a tough bread pudding. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a variety of apples: Using a mix of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn, will add depth and flavor to the bread pudding.
Don't skimp on the spices: The spices are what give apple bread pudding its signature flavor. Be generous with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This is the classic way to serve apple bread pudding, and it's always a hit.
