PREHEAT THE OVEN to 350°F Lightly grease a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. CRUMBLE THE BREAD into coarse crumbs, using your hands. Sprinkle two-thirds of the crumbs into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the apple wedges over the bread in rows, overlapping them slightly. COMBINE THE EGGS, half-and-half, 1 cup of the sugar, 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and the nutmeg and cloves in a large bowl. Beat well, then pour the mixture over the apples and bread. In another bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts with the remaining bread crumbs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and press down gently so it soaks up some of the liquid. Bake until the pudding is lightly browned and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. MAKE THE SAUCE while the bread pudding is baking. Combine the butter and honey in a deep, medium-sized saucepan (the mixture will expand when it boils) and heat over medium-low heat until both are melted and smooth. Bring to a boil without stirring and simmer for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and carefully stir in the cream and brandy. Cook 1 minute longer. Set aside and keep warm until needed. LET THE BREAD PUDDING sit for a few minutes before cutting into serving pieces. Drizzle a little of the brandy butterscotch sauce over each serving, passing the extra sauce separately.
