I tried this recipe for the first time at Easter brunch. It smells absolutely amazing while it's baking! It can be prepared the night before and refrigerated so you only need to pop it in the oven the next morning. Great for special occasions or busy school mornings!
8 tablespoons butter
8 large apples, peeled and sliced thin
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
4 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons cinnamon
16 slices Italian bread, sliced 1-inch thick
8 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Melt the butter in a large skillet and add apples. Cook and stir fo 5 minutes.
Add brown sugar, water, cinnamon and continue to cook and stir for 10 minutes, until apples are tender.
Spoon mixture into 13x9 baking dish.
Cover apples with bread slices, making sure to cover the entire surface. Trim the bread to fit if you must.
Beat eggs until foamy, then beat in milk and vanilla. Pour egg mixture over the bread slices.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, remove the dish from the refrigerator and let it stand while oven is preheated to 375 F. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes, or until bread is golden and firm. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
