Spiced Apple Pie French Toast Bake

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of bread (preferably French or challah)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup apple cider or apple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 3-4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • Butter for greasing

Instructions

  1. Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cut the bread into cubes and spread half of it in the bottom of the dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, apple cider, brown sugar, vanilla, and spices until well combined.
  4. Pour half of the egg mixture over the layer of bread in the dish. Then layer the diced apples and nuts if using, followed by the remaining bread cubes.
  5. Pour the rest of the egg mixture over the top, ensuring all bread is soaked. Press down gently to immerse any dry bread.
  6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or bake immediately if you prefer.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If refrigerated overnight, remove from the fridge while the oven preheats.

  9. Let it cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
