How to Make Apple Dapple French Toast Cobbler
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and add them to the egg mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the peeled and diced apples, brown sugar, flour, and remaining cinnamon. Gently toss to coat.
- Pour half of the soaked bread cubes into the prepared baking dish. Top with the apple mixture, then add the remaining bread cubes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and cold butter for the crumble topping. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the bread and apple layers.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
