French-Toast Apple Bake

People talking
This is a great make-ahead breakfast that will fill your home with the holiday aromas of cinnamon, spice and apples. It is a "soak overnight" casserole that mimics the flavors of french toast. Call it bread pudding if you like, but I know you'll call it delicious. It makes holiday morning cooking a breeze. I think I must have gotten this recipe from Taste of Home.

Delicious Lainey! I have never added fruit prior to baking it. Very good indeed :)

Very good! Will for sure make this again.

Very good! My in-laws loved this when we had them over for a Saturday morning breakfast. I made just a few changes...I added an extra apple, used 3 Tbsp. of butter instead of 5, used light corn syrup instead of dark, and added pecans. Took 45 minutes. Yummy!!!

Great dish for a cold winter day when I only had to put it in the oven and eat it! Mine took 45 minutes and next time, I'll add some raisins too and maybe cut down on the sugar. Thanks for sharing.
