NEXT-DAY BAKED CINNAMON-APPLE FRENCH TOAST



Next-Day Baked Cinnamon-Apple French Toast image

We made this for Christmas morning this year (2009). My mother found the recipe in her local paper -- The Daily Breeze in Redondo Beach, CA. When I made it, I added in not just the apples, but all the liquid -- as a result the dish was more like bread pudding than french toast ... it was still great, and I'd make it that way again. But if you'd like a drier texture, don't add the apple liquid. I also swapped out the cinnamon and nutmeg for two teaspoons of Recipe #45672 .

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
8 slices white bread (use Texas toast, that REALLY thick white bread)
8 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 1/2 cups milk (original recipe calls for whole milk, I used 2%)
1 tablespoon vanilla (use the very best! Use Penzey's!)
6 apples (used a variety ( Jonagold, McIntosh, your favorites)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (plus more to grease pan)

Steps:

  • Peel, core and cut apples into 1/4" thick slices. Heat butter in a saute pan until foamy; add apples and cook until tender (about 10 minutes).
  • Turn off heat and stir in brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Toast bread. Cut slices in half on the diagonal, making triangles.
  • Butter a 13x9 baking dish and arrange bread triangles in 2 rows, overlapping. (There was no photo for this, and I couldn't figure out the best way to do it -- I ended up with an arrangement that looked like two Flying Geese quilt borders, going opposite directions.).
  • Beat eggs in a medium bowl; add sugar, milk and vanilla and beat well. Pour custard mixture over bread. Spoon apples over top. Cover and refrigerate over night.
  • The next morning, heat oven to 350. Uncover baking dish and bake 60 minutes, until custard is set and doesn't shimmy when you tap it.
  • Let dish rest for 10 minutes when you take it out of oven. The original recipe says to serve in squares -- hah! Serve by spoonful; there wasn't any chance that I was going to get this out of the pan in nice, neat squares. Serve with honey butter, maple syrup, or nothing -- it's quite sweet, and the apples create a lovely topping.

Steps:

  • Spray a 13 x 9 inch pan with cooking spray. Peel, core & slice apples. Slice bread into 1 ½-inch thick slices and tightly pack into pan. In a large bowl whisk eggs, milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla until blended and pour half the milk/egg mixture over the bread. Arrange half of the apple slices (in rows) on top of the bread. Mix together the remaining sugar (1/2 cup), cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves and sprinkle half of the mixture over the apples. *** Pour the remaining milk/egg mixture over the apples and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Dot with butter, cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. It will rise high and brown. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes before serving. ***Recipe doesn't say what to do with the remaining half of apples...maybe layer them on top after half of egg mixture poured on and then pour remaining milk/egg mixture & sprinkle with sugar mixture?

BAKED APPLE FRENCH TOAST image

Categories     Brunch     Bake

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16-ounce) loaf French bread
8 eggs
3 cups milk
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, sliced
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the bread into 1 1/2-inch slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until blended. Whisk in the milk, 1/4 cup of the sugar and vanilla. Pour half the egg mixture over the bread. Arrange the apple slices over the bread. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the apples. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle over the top. Dot with the butter. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the apples are tender. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Use a good quality bread. A thick, hearty bread will hold up better to the custard and apples.
  • Don't soak the bread in the custard for too long. It will become soggy and fall apart.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help prevent it from burning.
  • Serve the French toast immediately. It is best when it is hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Baked apple French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning.
