Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange half of the cubed raisin bread in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the cream cheese evenly over the bread and top with apples; sprinkle raisins evenly over all. Top with remaining bread cubes.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the half-and-half, butter, and maple syrup. Pour this over the bread mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and press down so that all bread pieces are soaked. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake for 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
CARAMEL SAUCE
Mix the brown sugar, cream, butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk while cooking for 5 minutes or until the sauce gets thick. Add vanilla and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and pour into a jar.
TIP: Freeze the cream cheese until just barely solid for easier dicing.
