How to Make Apple Pecan French Toast Recipe
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 ½ cups milk, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 2 cups peeled and shredded apples to the egg mixture and gently stir to combine.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Arrange 12 slices of challah bread (or other sturdy bread) in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are coated.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- In the morning, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish.
- Sprinkle ½ cup chopped pecans evenly over the top.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the pecans.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and puffed, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
