Ingredients

2 apples
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp water
1 cinnamon stick
80g sultanas
100ml Vin Santo or other sweet wine
100g butter, softened
300g panettone
600ml single cream
4 eggs
60g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp demerara sugar

Method

Soak the sultanas in the Vin Santo overnight. Peel the apple and cut into small cubes. Put into a small saucepan with the sugar, water and cinnamon stick. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the apple is soft.
Grease an ovenproof dish (about 25cm x 25cm) with a little of the butter.
Cut the panettone into slices about 1.5cm thick and spread the rest of the butter evenly over them.
Arrange a layer of panettone in the dish, buttered side up and sprinkle over the apples and sultanas. Finish with another layer of buttered panettone.
Whisk together the cream, eggs, caster sugar and vanilla extract and pour over the panettone. Sprinkle over the demerara sugar and cook at 160ºC/320°F/Gas Mark 3 for 30 minutes.
