Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups day-old French bread, cubed
- 4 Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut the day-old French bread into one-inch cubes and place them evenly in the greased baking dish.
- Core and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Distribute them over the bread cubes and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, brown sugar, and remaining cinnamon until smooth and frothy.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and apple layers. Gently press down with a spatula to ensure all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and set in the center. The dessert should jiggle slightly without being liquidy.
- Remove from oven and drizzle generously with caramel sauce before serving warm, or enjoy cold as leftovers.
