Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 10 to 12 apples
  • 12 slc bread, crusts removed
  • 180 g sugar
  • 350 g unsalted butter

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    This takes a while to prepare, but it isn't difficult and it has a most distinctive and delicious flavor.
  • 2
    (A charlotte mold is round a 3-1/4 -4 inches high, but a 2 quart souffle dish will do as well.) Peel and core apples and cut them into thin slices.
  • 3
    Melt the sugar and 5 tablespoons of the butter in a large frying pan.
  • 4
    Add apples, stir until coated with butter, cover and cook over low heat until tender.
  • 5
    Uncover and continue to simmer until water formed is evaporated.
  • 6
    You should now have a thick apple puree.
  • 7
    Cut bread into pieces and completely cover the bottom and sides of the mold.
  • 8
    (easy when bread is cut into 1 inch strips for sides, and triangles for the bottom.) Then brown the triangle pieces in some of the butter and place in bottom of mold.
  • 9
    Dip strips of bread in melted butter and line sides.
  • 10
    Pour hot puree into mold and cover with more trips of bread dipped in melted butter.
  • 11
    Set the mold on a baking sheet and place in a 206°C oven.
  • 12
    Bake 40-50 minutes, or until bread on top is a deep golden brown.
  • 13
    Remove from oven and let stand 20 minutes.
  • 14
    Slip a knife between mold and bread and turn on to a platter.
  • 15
    Serve hot with cream or apricot rum sauce.
  • 16
    (1/2 cup apricot jam warmed up with 1/4 cup rum.)
  • Ready !
