Provided by Bobby Flay

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 FRITTER BREAKFAST CASSEROLE



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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Don't over-peel the apples: Leave a little bit of the peel on to add flavor and texture.
  • Use a sharp knife: This will help you to slice the apples evenly and prevent them from browning.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish: The apples need room to breathe in order to cook evenly.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice: This will help to prevent the apples from browning and will also add a bit of brightness to the flavor.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Apple casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover apples, and it can be made ahead of time, making it a convenient option for busy families. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your apple casserole turns out perfectly every time.
