How to Make Spring Fruit Charlotte
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Zest one lemon and set aside. Juice the lemon and measure out 1 tablespoon of juice.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, blueberries, pie filling, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until just combined.
- Reserve 1 cup of the fruit mixture. Pour the remaining fruit mixture into an 8x12 inch oval baking dish, mounding slightly in the center.
- In a separate 1-quart bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the egg until smooth and creamy.
- Using a serrated knife, carefully remove the crusts from the bread slices.
- Quickly dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides lightly. Don't over-soak!
- Arrange the bread slices in an overlapping circular pattern around the edges of the baking dish, on top of the fruit mixture, leaving the center open.
- Pour any remaining egg mixture over the bread.
- Spoon the reserved 1 cup of fruit mixture into the center opening.
- Bake for 23-30 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown and the pudding is set.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
- Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and the reserved lemon zest.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
