Ingredients
Scale
- 12 thick-cut slices of brioche bread (or 12 brioche rolls), dried out overnight
- 1 3/4 lb apples (about 5 apples), peeled and diced
- 4 tbsp salted butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup milk (of choice)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then add flour and apple pie spice, stirring until combined.
- Add brown sugar, diced apples, and water. Cover and cook until apples soften (10–15 minutes). Strain juices into a bowl.
- In another saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together milk, cream, remaining butter, sugars, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and optional apple pie spice until melted and combined.
- Remove from heat; whisk in eggs one at a time.
- Cut dried-out bread into cubes. Layer one-third of the cubes in the prepared pan, followed by one-third of the apple filling. Repeat layers two more times.
- Pour custard mixture over layered bread cubes ensuring everything is soaked.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden but slightly wobbly when shaken.
