Ingredients
Brioche:
1 loaf brioche
1 1/2 pound apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 1/21/2-inch slices
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups mascarpone
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting
Maple syrup
Custard:
5 egg yolks
3 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoon Calvados
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
Directions
- Whisk together yolks with cream, add remaining ingredients. Set aside. Saute apple slices in 3 tablespoons butter until just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes, sprinkle with sugar and grated lemon zest. Cut Brioche into 2-inch slices. Cut each slice sideways 2/3 of the way through to create a pocket. Spread mascarpone mixture on top and bottom of pocket. Put 1/6 of the apples in pocket and press to close. Submerge each slice stuffed brioche in the custard. Saute in butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until browned on both sides. Place in 400-degree oven for 3 minutes. Serve with powdered sugar and maple syrup.
