Time 2h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter
4 heaping cups diced apples (4 to 5 apples)
8 cups cubed bread
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup whole milk
8 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • In small bowl, mix granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon with whisk.
  • Heat 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat; melt butter in skillet. Add apples and half of the cinnamon-sugar; stir to coat. Cook about 10 minutes or until apples are tender.
  • Butter 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish; spread half of the bread in bottom. Top with half of the apple mixture; repeat.
  • In bowl, beat half-and-half, milk, eggs, vanilla and remaining cinnamon-sugar with whisk. Pour mixture over bread and apples, pressing down with spoon so everything gets soaked. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 12 hours to allow bread to soak up custard.
  • Remove from refrigerator. Heat oven to 350°F. Bake about 40 minutes or until edges and top of bread are golden and casserole has puffed up a bit. Cool on rack 15 minutes before serving.
  • In small bowl, beat glaze ingredients with whisk. Drizzle over casserole.
