Baked Apple French Toast Casserole image

The biggest challenge you will have with this recipe is that there is usually never enough. It makes an 11x7-inch pan, and is easily devoured by me and my wife and son. Quick, easy, and oh-so delicious. Top with maple syrup and powdered sugar to your liking.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
4 eggs, beaten
½ cup half-and-half
½ cup milk
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) loaf French bread, cut into small cubes
¼ cup butter
3 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and cut into small dice
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Beat eggs, half-and-half, milk, white sugar, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl; add bread cubes and stir to coat. Let soak until bread is moist, at least 10 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir apples and brown sugar into the melted butter to moisten the sugar completely; add cinnamon and cook, stirring regularly, until the apples are warmed yet still firm, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir apple mixture into the bread mixture; pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden on top and still somewhat soft in the center, 35 to 45 minutes.

I've made this casserole several times now and it's always a hit! It's so easy to make and the results are always delicious. I love that I can use whatever apples I have on hand. I've even used frozen apples in a pinch and it still turned out great.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used Granny Smith apples, which gave it a nice tartness. I also added a bit of extra cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. I will definitely be making this again!

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover apples. I used a combination of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples and it was delicious! I also added a bit of chopped walnuts for some extra crunch. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this casserole with a gluten-free bread and it turned out great! I also used a sugar-free sweetener and it was still plenty sweet. I will definitely be making this again.

I found this casserole to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding some more milk or cream to the batter. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or using a tart apple variety. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
