Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Start by cutting the bread circles. Using a set of pastry cutters, cut 12 x 2” rounds and 6 x 2 ½” rounds on a firm work surface. Butter each circle with a good dab of butter. Butter the insides of the ramekins. Place one 2” round into the bottom of each ramekin. Drop a teaspoons worth of apple butter onto each disc followed by another 2” round then press down to evenly distribute the apple butter. Drop another teaspoons worth of apple butter onto the next layer and finish by pressing the 2 ½” round on top then press again to distribute.
  • custard:
  • Place all the eggs, sugar and vanilla into a small bowl and whisk together to blend. Place the milk and the cream into a small saucepot and heat just to scald.
  • Pour the milk into the egg mixture while whisking quickly to incorporate.
  • Ladle some of the mixture into each ramekin to fill. Use your fingers to slightly pull the sides away of the bread to allow to fill more custard a bit at a time until full. Place the ramekins into a 2” high walled casserole. Add enough boiled water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins then place into the oven and bake for 20-22 min or until set.
  • pecan praline:
  • for a few minutes. place the sugar and pecans into a heavy stainless frying pan and set on high heat until the sugar turns into a clear liquid . reduce the heat to medium and stir with a wooden spoon for 3-4 minutes. the sugar will deepen with color. cook until the nuts are lightly toasted. remove from the heat and add the remainder of the ingredients sprinkling evenly over the praline to distribute. toss for a few seconds then pour onto a lightly oiled baking sheet to cool for 15 minutes.
  • toffee sauce;
  • Place all of the ingredients into a small saucepot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 -3 minutes then remove from heat..
