NEXT-DAY BAKED CINNAMON-APPLE FRENCH TOAST



Next-Day Baked Cinnamon-Apple French Toast image

We made this for Christmas morning this year (2009). My mother found the recipe in her local paper -- The Daily Breeze in Redondo Beach, CA. When I made it, I added in not just the apples, but all the liquid -- as a result the dish was more like bread pudding than french toast ... it was still great, and I'd make it that way again. But if you'd like a drier texture, don't add the apple liquid. I also swapped out the cinnamon and nutmeg for two teaspoons of Recipe #45672 .

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
8 slices white bread (use Texas toast, that REALLY thick white bread)
8 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 1/2 cups milk (original recipe calls for whole milk, I used 2%)
1 tablespoon vanilla (use the very best! Use Penzey's!)
6 apples (used a variety ( Jonagold, McIntosh, your favorites)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (plus more to grease pan)

Steps:

  • Peel, core and cut apples into 1/4" thick slices. Heat butter in a saute pan until foamy; add apples and cook until tender (about 10 minutes).
  • Turn off heat and stir in brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Toast bread. Cut slices in half on the diagonal, making triangles.
  • Butter a 13x9 baking dish and arrange bread triangles in 2 rows, overlapping. (There was no photo for this, and I couldn't figure out the best way to do it -- I ended up with an arrangement that looked like two Flying Geese quilt borders, going opposite directions.).
  • Beat eggs in a medium bowl; add sugar, milk and vanilla and beat well. Pour custard mixture over bread. Spoon apples over top. Cover and refrigerate over night.
  • The next morning, heat oven to 350. Uncover baking dish and bake 60 minutes, until custard is set and doesn't shimmy when you tap it.
  • Let dish rest for 10 minutes when you take it out of oven. The original recipe says to serve in squares -- hah! Serve by spoonful; there wasn't any chance that I was going to get this out of the pan in nice, neat squares. Serve with honey butter, maple syrup, or nothing -- it's quite sweet, and the apples create a lovely topping.

Tips for making apple cinnamon baked French toast

Choose the right bread
The bread you use can make or break your apple cinnamon baked French toast. It's essential to use a dense and sturdy bread that can absorb the egg mixture without getting too soggy. Good choices include brioche, challah, French bread, or sourdough. Avoid using sandwich bread, as it is too soft and will turn mushy when soaked in the egg mixture.
Cut the bread into thick slices
Cutting the bread into thick slices will give your baked French toast a more substantial and fluffy texture. It also prevents the bread from becoming too soggy or falling apart when coated with the egg mixture. Aim for bread slices that are about one inch thick.
Use whole milk or heavy cream
For a rich and creamy texture, it's best to use whole milk or heavy cream when making the egg mixture. Using skim or low-fat milk will result in a less flavorful and less creamy French toast.
Let the bread soak in the egg mixture overnight
One of the key features of baked French toast is that it can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning. Allowing the bread to soak in the egg mixture overnight will give it time to absorb the flavors and become more moist and flavorful. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight for best results.
Add chopped apples to the batter
Adding chopped apples to the egg mixture gives your baked French toast a fruity and flavorful twist. Choose firm apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. Peel and chop the apples into 1/2 inch pieces and add them to the egg mixture.
Use a casserole dish
A casserole dish is the best choice for baking French toast because it allows the bread to cook evenly and gives it a crispy texture on the outside. Use a 9x13 inch casserole dish that has been greased with butter or cooking spray.
Top with a streusel topping
To add a crunchy and sweet topping to your baked French toast, make a simple streusel mixture. Combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it over the bread before baking.
Let it cool before slicing
Allowing the baked French toast to cool for a few minutes before slicing will help it hold its shape and prevent it from falling apart. Use a sharp knife to cut it into slices and serve it with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion

Apple cinnamon baked French toast is a delicious and easy breakfast dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a moist and flavorful French toast that's sure to impress your family and friends. Remember to use a dense and sturdy bread, soak it overnight in the egg mixture, and top it with a sweet streusel topping for the best results. Enjoy!
