  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Arrange bread cubes in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan.
  • Whisk together milk, pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, bourbon, butter, sugar and pumpkin pie spice; pour over bread mixture, pressing bread cubes to absorb egg mixture.
