Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices day-old brioche or white bread
- 50 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Braeburn), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 75 grams soft light brown sugar
- 300 ml double cream (heavy cream)
- 200 ml whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 ml toffee sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 50 grams raisins or sultanas (optional)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F and grease a medium-sized ovenproof dish with butter.
Spread the softened butter on one side of each slice of brioche or bread, then cut the slices into triangles or rectangles.
In a frying pan over medium heat, add the light brown sugar and sliced apples. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
Layer the buttered bread pieces in the prepared dish, overlapping slightly. Scatter the sautéed apples and optional raisins or sultanas between the bread layers.
In a medium saucepan, gently heat the double cream and milk until just warm (do not allow to boil).
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture over the egg mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth custard.
Pour the custard evenly over the bread and apple layers, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon to ensure the bread soaks up the custard.
Drizzle the toffee sauce generously over the top.
Place the pudding in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an added touch of elegance.
Serve warm on its own, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
