Ingredients
Method
Arrange challah in single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets; toast in 350°F oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, grease bottom of 8- or 9-inch (2 or 2.5 l) springform pan; line side with parchment paper. Place pan on large square of heavy-duty foil; press foil up onto side of pan.
In large bowl, toss apples with cinnamon; set aside. In separate large bowl, whisk eggs with honey until combined. Whisk in almond milk, oil, vanilla and salt.
Toss together one-third each of the challah and apple mixture with egg mixture. Transfer challah and apple mixture to prepared springform pan, pressing firmly to fill any holes. Dollop 1/2 cup of the jam by the spoonful over top. Toss together one-third each of the challah and apple mixture with egg mixture. Add challah and apple mixture to pan; top with remaining jam. Toss together remaining challah and apple mixture with egg mixture; add to pan, pressing firmly.
Drizzle with any remaining egg mixture. Top with almonds. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Set springform pan on rimmed baking sheet; bake in 350°F oven until challah is golden and puffed and custard is set, about 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes before unmoulding. Top with figs and dust with icing sugar.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: In the (unlikely) event of leftovers, you can make French toast hash with the challah cake the next morning. In large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbsp butter; crumble in challah cake. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture becomes dark golden and crispy. Serve with whipped cream and maple syrup.
