Cinnamon Apple Raisin French Toast Strata
Ingredients
  • 1 (1 pound) loaf cinnamon raisin bread, cubed
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, diced
  • 1 cup diced peeled apples
  • 2 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 8 eggs
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the designated temperature of 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2
Place a non-stick coating on the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent food from sticking.
3
Layer half of the raisin bread in the prepared baking dish, followed by a uniform distribution of cream cheese over the top. Next, add sliced apples and optional raisins to taste.
4
Finish off the layer by placing the remaining half of the raisin bread on top.
5
In a large mixing bowl, combine and blend together half-and-half, eggs, butter, and maple syrup until well combined.
6
Pour the mixture over the bread layer in the baking dish, ensuring that all bread pieces are fully saturated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and apply gentle pressure to ensure the bread is evenly soaked.
7
Refrigerate the mixture for a minimum of 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
8
Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and preheat your oven according to the specified instructions.
9
Place the prepared baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the desired result is achieved.
10
Once baked, allow the dish to stand for 10 minutes before serving and enjoying your delicious creation.
