How to Make Baked Caramel Apple Upside Down French Toast
- In a large oven-safe skillet (10-inch or larger), combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the mixture is bubbling and slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the sliced apples to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the caramel mixture.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are softened but still hold their shape.
- Reduce heat to low and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until light and frothy.
- Generously spray four (6-ounce) ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
- Divide the apple mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Top each ramekin with two slices of cinnamon bread, gently pressing down slightly.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring the bread is fully saturated.
- Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the plastic wrap from the ramekins.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the custard is set.
- Let cool for 10 minutes after baking.
- Carefully place a serving plate upside down on top of each ramekin. Invert the ramekin onto the plate to release the French toast. The caramelized apples will be on top.
- Serve warm and enjoy! Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup.
