2 Tbs pure maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
100 g maple sugar
100 g butter
6 apples, peeled and sliced
250mL double cream
250mL milk
3 eggs
Seeds from 1 vanilla pod
450 g brioche loaf, sliced
Preheat the oven to 120 C.
Melt the sugar and butter in a pan. Add the apples and stir until the apples have softened.
Whisk cream and milk together with the eggs and pure amber maple syrup. Add the vanilla pod seeds.
In a buttered ovenproof dish, layer the slices of apple and brioche. Pour the milk mixture over the brioche and apple and leave to soak for 30 minutes.
Once soaked, cook for 1 hour.
Brush dark pure maple syrup over the brioche and apple. Place under the grill until golden brown.
