There are classics you make over and over again. This Brioche & Apple Casserole (aka. Ofenschlupfer) belongs in this category for me. Even though we make it over and over again, the recipe is being adapted from time to time. Instead of the usual stale bread rolls, I used brioche this time. The texture is a bit different, but I think it tastes even better than the original version ;P

Well, some will say that an Ofenschlupfer is not right when prepared like this one here – you need to use old bread rolls. Well, you don’t ;P We are not often having stale bread rolls at hand, but half a brioche or sweet braided loaf… that can happen often. If you bake a big braided loaf, there are always leftovers if you have not invited the whole family to brunch ;P

Anyway. This bake here can be prepared with many different types of pastry, actually. Regular (white) bread rolls, wholemeal bread rolls (better without any seeds though), brioche, Hefezopf, croissants, and other sweet bakes. Pretty much everything you would eat for breakfast with something sweet on it works here. Even toast. My Japanese Shokupan Milk Bread is also great for this dessert.

In addition to the stale bread rolls, brioche, or whatever, you also need apples… and raisins, of course. Without these two additional ingredients, it would not be a good Ofenschlupfer ;P You can skip the raisins if someone hates them, but I recommend adding them. Maybe soak them in some rum before hand… that adds even more flavor to this dessert.

The perfect Ofenschlupfer always comes with some vanilla sauce (or a thin custard). You can make this yourself – it’s quite easy to prepare – or you get some premade vanilla sauce from the supermarket. There are some products that are actually quite good.

The dessert Ofenschlupfer originates in southern Germany. Hence, the somewhat strange sounding name. It’s a traditional bake/dessert from the western part of South Germany. The people from the eastern part of South Germany have a similar bake/dessert which is called pyre (the name of the wooden structure where witches were burned). Don’t ask me why they call it like that… it’s a mystery to me too!

If you like this type of bakes, you will definitely also like these two here: simple Apple Pie Buchteln (aka. Sweet Rolls) with Streusels and my Simple & Easy Bread Pudding. Both bakes are great for a cozy breakfast or brunch with friends and family. If necessary, they can also be served as a simple dessert with a coffee. The bread pudding is basically ready in an instant if you have unexpected visitors ;P
