2 kg (4.4lbs) cooking apples
300 ml (10.6fl oz) water
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 vanilla pod split in two sideways
1 cinnamon stick
400 g (14.1oz) caster sugar
350 ml (12.3fl oz) double cream
150 ml (5.3fl oz) milk
1 cinnamon stick
100 g (3.5oz) caster sugar
6 egg yolks
1 loaf of unsliced white bread

1
To make the apple butter; peel, core and chop the apples, add them to a large pan with the water, vanilla pod, vinegar and cinnamon and cook over a slow heat until a pulp.
2
Remove the cinnamon and vanilla, blend the pulp to ensure it is smooth.
3
Pour the puree back into the pan and add the sugar.
4
Continue to cook over a low heat for 1-2 hours or until the apple has thickened and turned a caramel colour.
5
Place the butter in clean jam jars while still hot and then into the fridge once cooled.
6
To make the cinnamon custard toasts; pour the milk, cream and cinnamon into a pan.
7
put clingfilm over the pan and bring the liquid to simmer on a low heat.
8
Then take the pan off the heat and keep to one side to infuse - the cling film helps the infusion.
9
In a mixing bowl, add the yolks and caster sugar and whisk together, gently adding the infusion and mix well.
10
Slice the bread 2-3 cm thick, remove the crusts and cut into thick soldiers, lay the bread in a dish, pour over the warm custard mix and let soak for 10 minutes - turning the bread occasionally.
11
In a frying pan, add a knob of butter and fry the custard toasts on each side for 2 minutes and until lightly browned.
12
Serve them warm and with the apple butter spread and a pinch of cinnamon on top.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
