Apple Pie French Toast Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon with whisk.
• Heat 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat; melt butter in skillet. Add apples and half of the cinnamon-sugar; stir to coat. Cook about 10 minutes or until apples are tender.
• Butter 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish; spread half of the bread in bottom. Top with half of the apple mixture; repeat.
• In bowl, beat half-and-half, milk, eggs, vanilla and remaining cinnamon-sugar with whisk. Pour mixture over bread and apples, pressing down with spoon so everything gets soaked. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 12 hours to allow bread to soak up custard.
• Remove from refrigerator. Heat oven to 350°F. Bake about 40 minutes or until edges and top of bread are golden and casserole has puffed up a bit. Cool on rack 15 minutes before serving.
• In small bowl, beat glaze ingredients with whisk. Drizzle over casserole.

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.
