For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the custard mixture. If you don't have day-old donuts, you can lightly toast fresh donuts in a 200°F oven for about 30 minutes to dry them out slightly. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an even more indulgent dessert. Try different apple varieties for subtle changes in flavor – Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji apples work particularly well.

May 30, 2025I found that 35 minutes was a bit too long in my oven; it was starting to get a little dry. I'd recommend checking it after 30 minutes.
