The Big Apple French Toast Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Place bread cubes evenly along the bottom of the dish.
• Sprinkle diced apple evenly over the bread.
• In a medium-large bowl, combine all other ingredients (cream cheese, soymilk, egg substitute, syrup, butter, cinnamon, and sweetener). If you like your French toast pretty sweet, add an extra packet of sweetener. Using a handheld electric mixer set to medium speed, mix until lump-free and smooth. Pour mixture over the bread and apple.
• Make sure bread is soaked in the liquid mixture. If needed, toss lightly to coat.
• Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, until egg mixture is pretty firm and cooked through. (Be sure not to overcook, as bread may burn.)
• Let cool slightly and cut into quarters.

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.
