Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large Granny Smith apples (680g)
  • peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (28g)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (2g)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (12g)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (480ml)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (60ml)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (1g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (1.5g)
  • 6 cups cubed whole grain sourdough (450g)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (28g)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (8g)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (1g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, add the diced apples, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples are slightly tender.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cubed sourdough with the apple filling and pour the custard mixture over the top. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter over the top, sprinkle with brown sugar and additional cinnamon.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  8. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using other types of apples or even adding nuts for crunch. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
