Apple Fritter Breakfast Casserole image

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 granny smith apples (the more spots, the better!), peeled, cored and diced
6 Tablespoons butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon corn starch
2 Tablespoons warm water
----------------------
6 large croissants, chopped into chunks (these are pre-made croissants that I pick up at my local grocery store bakery section, not croissant dough).
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cinnamon apple sauce (or 1/2 cup apple butter)
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
----------------------
3/4 cup powdered sugar
4 Tablespoons Heavy Cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375*F In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until incorporated. Add cinnamon and nutmeg, mix well. Add diced apples and stir to coat. Simmer mixture for 5 minutes or until apples are soft and to the desired texture. I recommend tasting one to see if it's soft enough. In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water. Mix well then add cornstarch mixture to apples and stir. Remove from heat and set aside. In a 9x13 casserole dish, lay out croissant pieces, spreading out so they cover the bottom of the pan. Top croissants with apple mixture. Spreading evenly over croissants. In a separate bowl combine heavy cream, apple butter (or apple sauce), eggs and cinnamon. Mix well. Pour apple butter mixture over croissants and apples. Drizzle over the top to cover apples. Bake for 25 minutes. When casserole is removed from oven, allow to sit for 5 minutes. While casserole is cooking, in a small bowl combine heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time. Add more heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon at a time if needed. Mixture should be thick but should drip from spoon when held in air. Drizzle casserole with icing and serve immediately.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have needed to add more milk or applesauce.

I had some trouble getting the streusel topping to brown. I think I might have needed to cook it for a little longer.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that are about to go bad, so this is a great way to use them up.

I love the addition of apples to this casserole. It gives it a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the streusel topping.
