My boss made this for Christmas brunch a couple years ago and I serve it every Christmas morning for my neighbors to gather at my home for brunch.

Ingredients
- 15 oz Granny Smith apples, or any baking apples of your choice, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1½ cups granulated sugar, or margarine
- ¾ lb brioche, (1 loaf, 8 slices), ¾-inch thick slices, or any French, Italian, or challah bread

To serve:

- 1 tbsp pecans, roasted and chopped
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, cream, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk until evenly incorporated and set aside.
-
Pour your sugar in a dry skillet over medium heat. Swirl to dissolve the sugar evenly until a smooth caramel is formed. Alternate between removing and returning the skillet back to the heat for a smooth caramel.
-
Add the pecans and apples. Toss to combine into your caramel and set aside.
To assemble:
-
Preheat your oven at 350 degrees F.
-
Dip ⅓ of your bread slices into your prepared custard, then place onto your preferred baking casserole.
-
Pour remaining milk around your bread slices, then top with the caramel sauce.
-
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
-
Let it stand for about 10 minutes, then dust with roughly 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
-
Sprinkle with pecans and serve honey or maple syrup.
