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.

Time 13h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Butter, for greasing
1 loaf crusty sourdough or French bread
8 whole eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup whipping (heavy) cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 stick cold butter, cut into pieces, plus more for serving
Warm pancake syrup, for serving
1 cup fresh blueberries, for serving

Steps:

  • For the French toast: Grease the baking pan with butter. Tear the bread into chunks, or cut into cubes, and evenly distribute in the pan. Crack the eggs in a big bowl. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly and store in the fridge until needed (overnight preferably).
  • For the topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and some nutmeg in a separate bowl. Stir together using a fork. Add the butter and with a pastry cutter, and mix it all together until the mixture resembles fine pebbles. Store in a re-sealable plastic bag in the fridge.
  • When you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the fridge and sprinkle the topping over the top. Bake for 45 minutes for a softer, more bread pudding texture or for 1 hour or more for a firmer, crisper texture.

  • Stale bread is your friend: Day-old bread is ideal for French toast because it absorbs the custard mixture better and results in a less soggy texture.
  • Use a variety of apples: Mixing different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady, adds flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Don't skimp on the cinnamon: Cinnamon is the star of this dish, so be generous with it. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or allspice, for extra flavor.
  • Make the custard mixture ahead of time: You can prepare the custard mixture up to 24 hours in advance. This makes it easy to whip up French toast for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: Cooking the French toast over medium heat will help it cook evenly without burning it.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: French toast is delicious on its own, but it's even better when topped with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
