Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 7×11 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine bread, raisins, and apples. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup brown sugar, milk and butter. Cook and stir until butter is melted. Pour over bread mixture in bowl and let sit 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and eggs. Pour bread mixture into prepared dish, and pour egg mixture over bread.

While pudding is baking, make the custard. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons milk with corn starch to create a slurry. Over medium heat, the mix together sugar, brown sugar, the remaining milk and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then add the slurry and let come to a boil again to thicken.
