Apple Cinnamon French Toast Bake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 (21 ounce) cans apple pie filling
  • 20 slices white bread
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
Instructions
1
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by coating it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
2
Combine brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix until well combined; spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.
3
Spread apple pie filling uniformly over the top, followed by layers of bread slices, pressing each slice down firmly as you add it.
4
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth; slowly pour the mixture over the bread, ensuring it is fully absorbed.
5
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
6
The next morning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
7
Bake the dish in the preheated oven, covered with foil, for 60 to 75 minutes.
8
Remove the foil and broil the dish in the oven for an additional 2 minutes, or until the maple syrup on top begins to caramelize.
9
Remove the dish from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
