Ingredients (14)

  • 6 oz baguette bread cut into chunks
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 tsp cinnamon divided into 2 and 1
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 oz raisins
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 6 oz red apples peeled and chopped
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 oz almonds
  • 2 oz walnuts
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2

Crack 3 eggs into a large bowl. Add 2 tsp cinnamon and whisk well.

3

Add 1 cup milk and 2 tsp vanilla extract, and stir until everything is well combined.

4

Sieve the egg mixture into a large bowl of 6 oz bread chunks. Gently give it a toss to coat them evenly in the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

5

Soak 2 oz raisins in 1/4 cup of warm water.

6

Melt 1 tbsp butter over low heat. Add 6 oz apples, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon, and cook for 10 minutes. Add soaked raisins and raisin water, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.

7

Toss the soaked bread with the room-temp cooked apple and nuts (2 oz walnuts, 2 oz almonds). Pour the mixture into a large baking dish, foil, and bake for 45 minutes.

8

When it’s done, take it out of the oven. Add 2 tsp confectioner’s sugar to a sieve and gently dust all over the surface of the casserole.

9

Divide the casserole into four with a knife and carefully lift each piece out. Place onto serving plates and drizzle with 2 tbsp maple syrup to serve.
