1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 tablespoons almond extract
3/4 cup sliced almonds

Tear bread into 1-inch pieces. Combine with milk and cream in a large bowl. Let stand while assembling other ingredients. Mix together sugar, eggs and almond extract thoroughly. Add to bread mixture, making sure all the bread has been coated. Add the almonds, raisins and chopped apricots. Prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with spray such as Pam. Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
