Baked Apple French Toast
Total preparation time: 30 minutes
Serves: 8Ingredients:
- 3 Large Green Apples
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 12 slices French bread
- 8 Eggs
- 2 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vanilla
- Cinnamon
Steps:
- Set rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Butter a 13 X 9 inch pan.
Core and cut the apples into thin wedges, leaving the skin on, if desired.
- In a skillet, melt butter with brown sugar and one tablespoon water. Add apples and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer cooked apples to the baking dish; allow to cool.
- Cut cream cheese into small cubes and arrange evenly over apples. Cut slices of bread in half diagonally and layer over the apples to cover the whole dish.
- In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, taking care to dampen all bread. (May be placed in refrigerator overnight at this point.)
- Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until golden and puffed. Let cool 10 minutes.
