Ingredients

4 1/2 cups water

1 1/2 pounds piloncillo cones, Mexican brown sugar

3 cinnamon sticks

1 pound loaf French bread, sliced into 12 - 1" thick slices

1/2 cup natural raisins

1/2 cup golden raisins

2 medium bananas, sliced

1 sweet apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

3/4 cup unsalted peanuts

1/2 cup slivered almonds

Directions

Preheat oven to 350*. Line a 13x9" baking dish with foil and use butter to coat the whole inside.

In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine water, piloncillos and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Bake bread slices on a baking sheet until crisp, about 10 minutes on each side.

Soak raisins in enough hot water to cover for 5 minutes; drain.

In the prepared baking pan, layer 1/2 (of each) the bread slices, raisins, banana slices, apple slices, peanuts and almonds.

Remove the cinnamon from the pilocillo syrup. Pour 1/3 of the syrup over the ingredients in the dish. Repeat with a second layer with the remaining ingredients. Pour remaining syrup over all, soaking the bread evenly.

Cover with foil and bake 30-40 minutes until puffy and syrup is absorbed. For a crisp top, uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes.

Wow ,this is quite a twist on bread puddings I know .Some of the ingredients could prove hard to source here in Oz --we don't have much of a Mexican migrant base .Plenty of Chileans though . Maybe Piloncillo cones are a South American thing too --"google downunder" will get a workout to see if they are sold here .
