• 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 and 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 160 degrees for 30 minutes.
