Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F and butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish.

Arrange bread in dish. Sprinkle raisins and apricots on top.

In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add milk, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over bread, pressing gently to submerge slices.

Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle on pudding.

Place a baking sheet with a 2-inch rim in oven; set baking dish on sheet. Add water to a depth of 1 inch.

Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
