# What You’ll Need:
→ Bread & Dairy
01 - 6 cups brioche or challah bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
04 - 2 cups whole milk
05 - 1 cup heavy cream
06 - 4 large eggs
→ Fruit
07 - 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
→ Sweeteners
08 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
09 - 1/4 cup light brown sugar
→ Spices & Flavorings
10 - 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
11 - 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
12 - 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
13 - Pinch of salt
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
02 - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with caramel sauce until smooth. Add granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt; mix until well combined.
03 - Whisk in the eggs, then gradually add milk and heavy cream while whisking continuously until the custard is smooth and well blended.
04 - Add bread cubes and diced apples to the custard mixture. Gently fold until all pieces are evenly coated. Allow to soak for 10 minutes.
05 - Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top if desired.
06 - Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
07 - Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce if desired.
