Sunday mornings are usually our special breakfast day. This recipe is a good one to do the night before because getting it ready the next morning is so easy. I used fresh french baguette. Very good and loved the apples and caramel glaze. I did have to scrap some of the glaze out of the pan as it didn't all make it out when I turned the pan over. Will be in my Sunday breakfast rotation of recipes. Thanks.
