Ingredients
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts mixed with 1/4 cup flour, 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt
4 tablespoons chilled butter
4 slices dried out egg, brioche or challah bread, crusts removed and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
1 cup raisins soaked in rum, Port or Cognac
4 Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples peeled, cored, quartered and sliced
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
- Cut the chilled butter into the walnut and cinnamon flour, with a pastry blender or fork until it is like coarse crumbs; set aside. Drizzle melted butter over cubed bread to coat, then toss with apples and raisins
- Transfer apples and bread to a baking dish and top with walnut flour topping; bake for 45 minutes or until crisp. Serve hot or warm with ice cream.
- Note that if you are starting out with fresh bread, then dry it out first in an oven
