NEXT-DAY BAKED CINNAMON-APPLE FRENCH TOAST
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 .

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.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
- If you don't have any apple cider, you can substitute apple juice or water.
- Be sure to whisk the eggs and milk together thoroughly before adding the bread slices.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. Cook it in batches if necessary.
- Serve the French toast with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, or fruit.
Conclusion:
This overnight baked cinnamon apple French toast is an easy and delicious breakfast or brunch recipe. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time, so you can enjoy it without any hassle. The apples give the French toast a sweet and tart flavor, and the cinnamon adds a warm and cozy spice. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
