Instructions

  1. 1

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cut the brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and spread evenly in the prepared dish.

  2. 2

    Peel, core, and dice the apples. In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, half of the brown sugar (1/4 cup), half of the cinnamon (0.75 tsp), and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Toss to coat.

  3. 3

    Scatter the apple mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, remaining brown sugar (1/4 cup), remaining cinnamon (0.75 tsp), vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

  5. 5

    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and apples, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Gently press down with a spatula if needed.

  6. 6

    Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
