Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread (sliced into 1-inch pieces)
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 2 large Apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 0.25 cup Butter (cold, cubed)
- optional Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Arrange the sliced French bread in the dish, slightly overlapping each piece.
Evenly distribute the sliced apples over the bread slices.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
Pour the mixture evenly over the bread and apples, ensuring all pieces are soaked in the custard mixture.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
The next morning, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until it forms a crumbly texture.
Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Let the baked French toast cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
