DIRECTIONS

To make the French toast:

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugars, apple juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth; stir in toffee bits. Spread over apples.
Top with remaining bread cubes.
In another large bowl, beat the eggs, milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla until well blended; pour over bread.
Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the French toast is baking, prepare the syrup.
To make the apple syrup:
In a medium-size saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, apple juice and lemon juice; heat to a boil, whisking constantly.
Boil for 1 minute; then stir in butter.
Serve over warm Apple Toffee French Toast.
