How to Make Baked Apple French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  3. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and stir until melted and combined.
  4. Add 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced, to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Transfer the apples to the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Cut 4 ounces cream cheese into small cubes and distribute evenly over the apples.
  7. Cut 8 slices of bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast recommended) in half diagonally. Arrange the bread slices over the apples, ensuring they cover the entire surface of the pan.
  8. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk (whole milk recommended), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are saturated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and puffed, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
