Caramelized French Toast

By barbgreenfield

Ingredients

• 1 C. light brown sugar
• 3 Tbs. light Karo syrup
• 6 Tbs. butter
• 3-4 Granny Smith apples
• 6 slices Texas toast
• 6 eggs
• 2 C. milk
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Combine brown sugar, Karo syrup and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Pour into a greased or sprayed 9x13-inch baking dish. (Note: Warm the dish slightly to help spread the caramelized mixture.)

Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla and pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature (approx. 1 hour) before baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool 5-10 minutes before cutting into squares. Peel and slice the apples and place on top of the caramel mixture. Cube Texas toast and spread evenly on top of the caramel/apple mixture. This should fill up the dish.

Yield: 8-10 servings
