Steps:
- Add apple slices, brown sugar, and butter in a medium sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat until brown sugar has dissolved and butter has melted. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and reduce heat to simmer. Cook 6-8 minutes longer. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly and thicken while you prepare toast.
- In a large, wide bowl whisk together eggs, vanilla, milk, and cinnamon. Stir in flour and whisk until smooth. Completely submerge one slice of bread in the mixture, careful to coat both sides. Lift the bread out of the liquid and allow to drip off excess.
- Cook toast in a large pan over medium heat 1-2 minutes until lightly browned, then flip and cook other side 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining bread slices. Generously top toasts with apple-cinnamon mixture. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips:
- Use a variety of bread: This will give your strata a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of white, wheat, and sourdough bread.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the strata tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the strata rest before baking: This will allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture and will help to prevent the strata from becoming dry.
- Bake the strata in a water bath: This will help to keep the strata moist and prevent it from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the strata immediately: French toast strata is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
