2 tbsp. unsalted butter
4 large crisp-sweet apples (such as Jonamac or Empire)
3/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 loaf challah
3 large eggs
1/2 c. milk

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add apples and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and cook until apples begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and granulated sugar; stir to coat apples. Cook until fruit is tender, about 5 more minutes, then set aside.

Brush griddle with butter. Dip bread slices into egg mixture; cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to prepared baking pan; bake batch until heated through, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
