Description
A classic German sweet treat from Hamburg turned into a delicious breakfast/brunch dish: Franzbrötchen Apple Casserole aka. Ofenschlupfer
Ingredients
For the Ofenschlupfer:
some butter for greasing
4-5 Franzbrötchen (from the day before is OK)
1 large apple, sliced
For the sauce:
2 large eggs
15.2 fl. oz. (450ml) milk (3.5% fat)
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
2-3 tbsp. sliced almonds
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180°F (350°F) fan-forced. Lightly grease a loaf tin (approx. 9×5 inches) and set aside.
2. Cut the Franzbrötchen in half. Wash, dry, and core the apple with an apple corer*, then cut it into slices. You can leave the skin on, that’s fine. Layer the halved Franzbrötchen and apple slices alternately in the loaf tin.
3. Whisk the eggs for the sauce in a bowl, then mix with the milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the mixture over the Franzbrötchen and sprinkle with a few sliced almonds. Set aside and let sit for about 10 minutes.
4. Bake the Ofenschlupfer in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Check halfway through the baking time and cover with some aluminum foil or baking paper if the almonds seem getting too dark. Remove the finished Ofenschlupfer from the oven and let cool down slightly before serving (still) warm with vanilla sauce.
