Overnight Cinnamon Apple Baked French Toast Casserole

By commercecook

Ingredients

• 1 lb. loaf French bread, cut into chunks
• 3 cups chopped apples (2 large apples)
• 8 large eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, loosely packed
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• STREUSEL TOPPING
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1/2 cup salted butter, cut into pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Grease a 9x13 pan
Combine the bread chunks and chopped apples and layer in the bottom of the dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, minus the streusel, and pour evenly over bread. Cover the casserole and store in the refrigerator overnight.
When ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Bake the casserole for about 35 to 40 minutes
While casserole bakes, in another bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the streusel. Add the butter and mash into the dry mixture until it forms a crumbly mixture. ( I put the ingredients in the food processor.)
Remove the casserole from the oven and crumble the streusel over the top of the casserole.
Continue baking casserole for about 5 minutes, or until the streusel is melted over the top
Serve warm
