Step by step recipe

---

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Peel 4 apples, cut in four and remove core.

---

Stage 2 - 20 min.

Melt 40 g butter (clarified if possible) in a frying pan over high heat, add apple quarters.

Cook 2 or 3 minutes, then sprinkle with 3 tablespoons caster sugar and cook a few more minutes until well caramelised.

Set aside.

---

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Slice 300 g Stewed apple (compote) fairly thinly (1/2 cm or 0.4 inch thick) and remove crust.

Cut into rectangles same height as your mould, and triangles for top and bottom.

Try the brioches pieces in the mould to check for fit: the rectangles should overlap slightly.

---

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Turn on the grill.

Melt 3 tablespoons Clarified butter.

Put all the brioche pieces on a grill pan or thick baking sheet.

---

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Using a brush, coat each slice of brioche with melted butter, then sprinkle with some caster sugar.

---

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Put under the grill.

---

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Supervise carefully, remove brioche pieces as soon as they are golden brown.

Set aside.

---

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Brush the mould with melted butter, then put in 1 tablespoon caster sugar and spread it around evenly by shaking and turning.

We do this to make turning out easier after cooking.

Preheat oven to 392°F (200°C).

---

Stage 9 - 3 min.

Line the mould with brioche pieces, toasted side against the mould, overlapping the rectangles slightly.

---

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Add stewed apples to about ¼ depth of mould.

---

Then a layer of caramelized apples .

---

Stage 12 - 4 min.

Then a second stewed apples layer, and finally a layer of brioche .

---

Stage 13 - 40 min.

Put in the oven for about 30 minutes.

---

Stage 14 - 20 min.

Allow to cool a for a while before turning out.

---

Stage 15

Enjoy cold or warm with whipped cream (creme chantilly - delightful!) or real custard (crème anglaise).

Remarks

For a quicker, easier version, don't make caramelized apples, just used more stewed apple.
