Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 thick-cut slices of brioche bread (or 12 brioche rolls)
  • 1 3/4 lb apples (about 5 apples), peeled and diced
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 eggs (room temperature)
  • Spices: cinnamon, vanilla extract, apple pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and apple pie spice until smooth. Add brown sugar, diced apples, and water; cover and cook until apples are tender.
  3. Strain excess juices from apple filling, saving for later.
  4. In another saucepan over medium-low heat, combine milk, heavy cream, and butter until melted. Whisk in sugar, salt, vanilla extract, spices, and eggs one at a time until smooth.
  5. Cut brioche into cubes; layer one-third in the prepared pan followed by one-third of the apple filling. Repeat twice more.
  6. Pour custard over layers ensuring all bread is soaked. Optionally sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown but slightly wobbly. Allow to cool for ten minutes before serving.
