Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Melt the 4 oz of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and sauté until they start to caramelize and turn slightly brown. Take off the heat and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine the diced brioche, the dried fruits and the cooked apples, and mix well.
4. Transfer to a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
5. Whisk together the eggs, cream, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and sugar. Blend with an immersion blender for a couple of minutes.
6. Pour the custard over the bread and apple mixture and mix well until the bread absorbs it.
7. For the topping, heat the 4 oz of butter in a saucepan until light golden brown. In a separate bowl, combine the pecans, Grape Nuts, five-grain cereal, light brown sugar and almond flour. Pour the browned butter over and stir until crumbly.
8. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pudding and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.
9. For the caramel, cook 1 cup of sugar with ½ cup of water over medium heat without stirring until it turns a deep mahogany color, about 10 minutes.
10. Remove from the heat and carefully add the white chocolate and ¾ cup of cream (the text also says 1 cup) and the 2 tablespoons of butter, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the slices.
