How to Make Apple Strata
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 11x8 inch baking dish.
- In the prepared baking dish, place half of the bread cubes (about 4 cups).
- Evenly distribute 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, cut into cubes, over the bread.
- Top with 3 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples and 1/2 cup raisins.
- Cover with the remaining bread cubes (about 4 cups).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gently pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all the bread is thoroughly moistened.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Remove from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes, or until golden brown and set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before sprinkling with powdered sugar or drizzling with maple syrup.
- Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
