Steps (4)
- Prepare the dish. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking dish with parchment and add the bread cubes and chopped apple.
- Mix the custard. Whisk eggs, milk, 1 tbsp maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the bread and toss gently. Let soak 5 min.
- Add the cheesecake filling. Dot small spoonfuls of softened cream cheese over the mixture, tucking some between the bread cubes.
- Bake and serve. Bake 25–30 min, until the center is set and reaches 160°F (71°C), with golden bread edges. Rest 5 min, drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tbsp maple syrup and divide into 2 equal portions.
