Apple-Of-My-Eye Baked French Toast
Bake: 1 hr at 350°F
Stand: 5 mins
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 16 ounce loaf French bread
- 12 eggs
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 4 - 5 medium cooking apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut up
- Maple syrup
Directions
1. Coat a 13x9x2-inch baking dish (3-quart rectangular) with some nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2. Cut the bread into 1-1/2-inch-thick slices (about 8 slices). Arrange slices in a single layer in the baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, first 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla. Pour half of the mixture over bread slices. Arrange apple slices over bread. Pour remaining mixture evenly over apples.
4. Stir together remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples. Dot with butter. Cover bread mixture with foil and refrigerate overnight.
5. Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 40 minutes more or until a knife inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. The toast should be nicely puffed. Remove the French toast from oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
6. Cut into squares and serve with syrup. Makes 12 servings.
