This is one from my "Recipes to try" file that I have been going through lately. This one was very tasty and will be made again I'm sure of it. I had this on my weekly menu a few weeks ago and several people have been asking how it tasted, so I decided I better post the recipe and my reviews!
It was fairly easy to put together, it has to sit overnight so I made it on a Friday night after our movie night and then baked it on Saturday morning. Lady Bug said she didn't like it, I still don't know why. The boys really liked it!
Apple French Toast Casserole
adapted from Allrecipes.com
INGREDIENTS:
4 Tbls butter
3 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced (I used Gala)
3/4 c brown sugar, packed
2 Tbls water
1 tsp cinnamon
8 slices Italian bread, sliced 1" thick
4 large eggs
1 1/4 c milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add in apples; cook and stir for 5 minutes.
Add brown sugar, water, cinnamon and continue to cook for 10 minutes until apples are tender.
Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover apples with bread slices, making sure to cover the entire surface (cutting bread to fit into small areas if you need to).
Beat eggs until foamy. Beat in milk and vanilla. Pour eggs over the top of the bread, being sure to cover edges well with the eggs or they will be dried out and not very good.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, pull the dish out and let it sit out on the counter while the oven preheats.
Preheat your oven to 375.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until bread is golden and firm. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
If you want to serve this on a platter: Run a knife around the edges of the casserole, place platter on top of dish and carefully flip.
To serve individually: Run a knife around edges of casserole, use a spatula to remove serving, flip the serving over so that the apples are on top.
We sprinkled powdered sugar on top of the apples.
