Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 loaf challah or brioche (1 pound), cut into about twelve 3/4-inch-thick slices
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar, divided
Kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 crisp apples, such as Gala, Braeburn, or Envy, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges (about 5 1/2 cups)
6 large eggs, whisked
1 1/3 cups whole or 2 percent milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Confectioners' sugar
Greek yogurt, toasted chopped pecans, and raspberries or pomegranate arils, for serving

Steps:

  • Spread bread slices on a baking sheet; let stand at least a few hours and up to overnight. Melt butter in a large ovenproof, nonreactive skillet (like an 11-to-12-inch enameled cast iron) over medium heat. Add 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil; cook 1 minute.
  • Add apples and cook, turning occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown a bit and liquid thickens, about 12 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes.
  • In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dip bread in mixture, turning to coat. Arrange atop apples, shingling in concentric circles. Pour remaining mixture on top. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 24.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle French toast with cinnamon and bake, uncovered, until set and golden on top, 35 to 45 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar; serve with yogurt, pecans, and fruit.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. Different apples provide different flavors and textures to the dish. Try using a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you try to cram too many apples and bread slices into the slow cooker, they won't cook evenly. Cook the dish in batches if necessary.
  • Don't overcook the bread. The bread should be cooked through but still slightly soft in the center. Overcooked bread will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the dish warm. Caramel apple French toast is best served warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Caramel apple French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. The combination of sweet apples, gooey caramel, and fluffy bread is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning, you can even make this dish ahead of time and reheat it in the morning. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give caramel apple French toast a try.
