How to Make Baked Apple French Toast Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
2. Arrange 5 slices of bread in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Spread evenly with the apple pie filling.
4. Top with the remaining 5 slices of bread.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are moistened.
7. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
8. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to allow it to come to room temperature.
9. While the French toast soaks, prepare the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cold butter, pecans, and corn syrup. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
10. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the soaked bread.
11. Bake, uncovered, for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
