Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
6 cups cubed brioche or challah bread (day-old)
2 cups diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
Crumble Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cold butter (cubed)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
For serving:
Vanilla ice cream
Caramel sauce
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
2. Spread bread cubes and diced apples evenly in the dish.
3. In a bowl, whisk together milk, cream, sugars, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Pour the mixture over the bread and gently press down so everything soaks evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes.
5. In another bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.
6. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the bread mixture.
7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.
8. Let cool slightly, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Pro Tip:
For extra flavor, sauté the apples in butter and cinnamon for 5 minutes before adding them—this boosts the caramelized taste!
