Ingredients

  • 5 slices stale brioche or challah bread, torn into pieces
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 pounds baking apples – peeled, cored and thickly sliced
  • 1 1/2 pounds apricots – peeled, pitted and quartered
  • 2 tablespoons lemon or orange juice
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375° F. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.

Pulse bread in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Toss with butter until well coated. Place 1/3 of the breadcrumbs on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Combine apples, apricots, lemon or orange juice and sugar in a large bowl. Add 1/3 of the breadcrumbs and toss well to mix. Layer fruit mixture on top of breadcrumb layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining breadcrumbs. Cover the dish tightly with foil.

Bake until the fruit is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until breadcrumbs become golden and fruit is tender, 10 to 15 additional minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
