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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
