I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds so, so good. I'm going to make it for dinner this week. This is a make ahead dish and must be refrigerated overnight.

Ingredients

8 C French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
3 tart apples, peeled and chopped
8 oz cream cheese softened
3/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C sugar
1/4 C apple juice
2 t. vanilla
1/2 C English Toffee bits
5 eggs
3/4 C milk

Directions:

Place 1/2 of the bread cubes into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and top with apples. In a large bowl beat the sugars, cream cheese, 1 t. vanilla, and apple juice until smooth. Stir in the toffee bits. Spread mixture over apples and top with remaining bread cubes.

In another large bowl, beat the eggs, milk and 1 t. vanilla until well blended. Pour over bread, cover with foil and refrigerate over night.

Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake uncovered at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

If you want to, while the French toast is baking, prepare this Apple Syrup Recipe:

Ingredients

1 C sugar
2 T. cornstarch
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
2 C apple juice
2 T. lemon juice
5 T. butter

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, whisk together everything except butter and heat to a boil, whisking constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then stir in butter. Remove from heat and serve over the Apple Toffee French Toast.

Oh my! This one sounds like a must make right away! I'm thinking this is Sunday's breakfast/brunch and a big surprise for the family!!

Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, Anne! I hope you lurve it!
