How to Make Holiday Morning French Toast
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Add 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced, and 1/2 cup raisins. Toss gently to coat.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Arrange 12 slices of bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast recommended) on top of the apple mixture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are soaked.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, bake the casserole, covered with aluminum foil, for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- For a stunning presentation, carefully loosen the edges of the baking dish and invert onto a large serving platter.
