Ingredients
300 g packet brioche swirls with chocolate chips
1/2 cup thick caramel (dulce de leche)
410 g can apple slices pie fruit
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
600 ml carton vanilla custard
45 g (1/3 cup) pecans, coarsely chopped
Icing sugar, to dust
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and grease a 4.5 cm-deep, 1.5 L (6-cup) baking dish.
- Slice brioche swirls in half horizontally and spread dulce de leche over the bottom halves.
- Arrange the caramel-coated halves, spread-side up, across the base of the dish. Spoon apple slices evenly over the top and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
- Pour vanilla custard evenly over the mixture, letting it soak into the brioche.
- Place the brioche tops on top, pressing down gently, and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
- Bake for 30 minutes, covering loosely with foil halfway if browning too quickly.
- Let cool for 10 minutes, dust with icing sugar, and serve warm.
Notes
Add raisins or sultanas between layers for extra sweetness.
Drizzle extra caramel on top before baking for a richer dessert.
Use croissants or brioche loaf instead of swirls if preferred.
Omit pecans for a nut-free version or replace with chocolate chunks.
Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or extra custard.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
