Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup cubed stale bread (white or whole wheat)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 2 small ramekins or individual baking dishes.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the cubed stale bread with melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the bread cubes are evenly coated with the butter mixture.
Divide half of the buttered bread cubes between the two ramekins to form the bottom layer.
Spoon half of the spiced apple mixture over the bread cubes in each ramekin, spreading evenly.
Repeat the layering with the remaining bread cubes and apple mixture, finishing with a layer of bread cubes on top.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
