Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Chop the apple into small pieces. Fry it in clarified butter until soft, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Fry for another 1 minute until the sugar is completely absorbed and the aroma of cinnamon spreads across the pan.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Transfer the cooked apples to a bowl. Cut the brioche in half. Lightly beat the egg with cream and a pinch of nutmeg — the mixture should be homogeneous but not fluffy.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Dip the brioche halves into the egg mixture with cream — just 1–2 seconds on each side so the bread soaks up the mixture but doesn't fall apart. Fry them in the same pan with butter until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Place the finished toasts on a plate, arrange the fried apples on top. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and add another pinch of cinnamon if desired.
