Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a flat dish, crack eggs and add milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined then lay challah slices in mixture to coat and absorb it all, turning occasionally.
  • Set a 10-inch skillet, seasoned cast iron if you have, over medium heat. Add the butter and 1 cup sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has melted and caramelized, about 8 minutes. While the sugar is melting, peel apples, core and cut into halves. Remove from heat and gently whisk in the heavy cream. Sprinkle in the pecans, dried cranberries and gently press in the apple halves so there is a flat surface. Lay soaked slices of challah over the top so it is completely covered - you should be able to arrange the large slices and small slices so there are no gaps. Sprinkle the top with some brown sugar and place into the preheated oven. Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden and puffy.
  • When done, allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes then invert onto a large plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 loaf day-old challah bread, crust removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup apple cider, plus more for syrup if needed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 Gala apples, peeled, cored and diced
3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
2 tablespoons apple brandy, such as Calvados, optional
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Softened butter for greasing the baking dish
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • For the French toast and caramelized apples: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 15 minutes. Let cool. Adjust the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the sugar, apple cider and lemon juice in a large, high-sided saute pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the Gala and Granny Smith apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Add the apple brandy if using; cook a few minutes longer. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the apples to a bowl (you don't want the apples to be too wet) and let cool. Reserve the apple cooking liquid for serving.
  • For the streusel: Mix together the butter, salt and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add the flour, oats and cinnamon and mix until well combined. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Squeeze the mixture in your hands to form larger and smaller clumps.
  • For the casserole: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with some softened butter. Whisk the eggs, yolks, vanilla and cinnamon in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in the half-and-half, then fold in the cooled apples. Add the bread and stir to coat, pressing down to make sure bread is totally submerged. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the apple-bread mixture to the buttered baking dish, pressing down to make sure the top is an even layer. Scatter the streusel evenly over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until puffed and lightly golden brown, another 30 minutes or so. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Reheat the reserved apple cooking liquid. (If very thin, simmer briefly over medium heat until reduced to a syrup; if there isn't much, add some apple cider and simmer briefly.) Turn the heat to low and whisk in the cold butter, piece by piece, until emulsified. Serve with the French toast.

Apple toast is a delicious and easy-to-prepare breakfast or snack that is popular around the world. It's a versatile dish that can be made in a variety of ways, with different ingredients and toppings, to suit your preferences. In this article, we will discuss the tips and tricks to make the perfect apple toast recipe that is healthy, delicious, and easy to make.

Choosing the Right Bread

The first step in making apple toast is choosing the right bread. You'll want something that is sturdy enough to hold the toppings but isn't too dense or heavy. It's recommended to use whole grain bread, which is rich in fiber, nutrients, and complex carbohydrates. It will give the apple toast a nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. You can also use multigrain, rye or sourdough bread.

Preparing the Apples

Apples are the star of the show when it comes to apple toast. You can use any variety of apple that you prefer, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji. Apples are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are vital for maintaining good health. Before cutting the apples, wash them thoroughly with water and cut them into slices or cubes. You can also grate them if you prefer a smoother texture. Add some lemon juice to prevent the apple from browning.

Spreading the Cheese or Nut Butter

The next step is to spread the cheese or nut butter on the bread. Cheese adds a tangy flavor to the apple toast, and you can use your favorite variety, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese. Alternatively, you can use almond, peanut, or cashew butter to make the toast more filling and nutritious. Spread a thin layer of cheese or nut butter evenly over the bread, leaving some space around the edges.

Choosing the Right Toppings

The toppings you choose will determine the flavor and texture of the apple toast. You can add a wide range of toppings, such as fruit, nuts, seeds, honey, cinnamon, or granola. Fruits like bananas, strawberries, blueberries or pears add natural sweetness and a burst of flavor. Nuts like walnuts, almonds or pecans add a crunch and a rich flavor. Seeds like chia, pumpkin, or sunflower seeds are excellent sources of protein, healthy fats, and minerals. You can also drizzle honey over the top for extra sweetness or sprinkle some cinnamon for a warm spicy flavor.

Grilling or Toasting the Apple Toast

After adding the toppings, it's time to grill or toast the apple toast. You can use a grill pan on the stovetop, a toaster oven, or a conventional oven. The key is to make sure the cheese or nut butter melt, and the toppings are heated through. Grilling or toasting the apple toast will also give it a nice golden-brown color and a crispy texture. It's recommended to watch the toast closely to avoid burning it and adjust the time and heat as needed.

Final Touches

Finally, it's time to add the finishing touches to the apple toast, which will make it look and taste fantastic. You can sprinkle some chopped herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil over the top for extra flavor and fragrance. You can also drizzle some olive oil or balsamic vinegar for a tangy kick. Finally, garnish with some fresh fruit slices or a sprig of mint, parsley or cilantro.

Conclusion

Apple toast is a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-prepare breakfast or snack that can be customized to your preferences. By choosing the right bread, preparing the apples, spreading the cheese or nut butter, choosing the right toppings, grilling or toasting the apple toast, and adding the final touches, you can create the perfect apple toast recipe that is sure to impress. Use these valuable tips to make the best apple toast recipe that will delight your taste buds and keep you healthy and satisfied.
