Ingredients for Apple And Pecan Breakfast Casserole

  • Tart Cooking Apples
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • Golden Raisin
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar

How to Make Apple And Pecan Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, sauté diced apples, pecans, raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon in margarine over medium heat until apples are softened, about 6-8 minutes. Stir frequently.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, orange juice, salt, and flour until smooth.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
