Just when you thought apple pie couldn’t get any better, we’ve combined it with French toast to create a breakfast casserole that’s sure to impress. This dish layers the comforting flavors of cinnamon-spiced apples and custardy bread, making it perfect for a cozy morning or a special brunch.
Ingredients
- 6 cups of day-old bread, cubed (think a loaf of French or brioche)
- 2 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups of milk (a splash more if you like it extra custardy)
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1 tbsp of cinnamon
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp of butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with a bit of the melted butter.
- Spread the bread cubes evenly in the dish and scatter the apple slices on top.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Tip: For extra flavor, let the mixture sit for a minute to allow the sugar to dissolve.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread and apples, pressing down gently to ensure everything is soaked. Tip: Let it sit for 10 minutes so the bread absorbs the custard.
- Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the top and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. Tip: Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The casserole will be wonderfully custardy inside with a crispy top, and the apples will be tender with a hint of spice. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra treat.
Here’s the magic of this dish: the edges get delightfully crispy while the center stays soft and custardy, with the apples adding a sweet, spiced contrast. It’s a versatile recipe that’s just as fitting for a holiday breakfast as it is for a lazy Sunday morning.
