Cut bread into cubes of about 1.5 cm. Cut the vanilla pod in half lengthwise, scrape out the pulp with the back of a knife. Peel and quarter apples, cut out the core. Dice apples. Mix apples, cinnamon and half vanilla pulp.
For the glaze, mix milk, cream, eggs, sugar, citrus peel, orange blossom water and the rest of the vanilla pulp with the whisks of the mixer.
Mix bread, apples and icing well. Pour into a well greased casserole dish. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer) for 30-35 minutes.
Select the berries or clean and wash them. Dust the oven slippers with icing sugar. Decorate with berries and possibly flowers. Serve with vanilla sauce.
