Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Try using a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Soak the raisins in hot water for 15 minutes before adding them to the strata. This will help to plump them up and make them more flavorful.
  • Use a good quality bread for the strata. A sturdy bread, such as French bread or sourdough, will hold up well in the custard.
  • Don't overmix the custard. Overmixing will make the strata tough.
  • Bake the strata until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the strata cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Apple raisin strata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its sweet and tangy flavor, apple raisin strata is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
