Preparation
Step 1
For this batch of Caramel Apple French Toast we got some honey crisp apples from a local orchard and they were so good! This dish tastes best with a tart and crisp apple. Never make it with a really sweet and soft apple like a red delicious, it will not taste as good and get too mushy. Granny Smith, Braeburn, Gala, and Pink Lady apples all work great for this recipe too.
I love this recipe because it is so great for company or brunch dates. You can whip up everything the night before, refrigerate it overnight, and then bake it up in the morning while you are getting ready. The smells of the caramel and apples fill your house while it bakes. And the best part of all, is the amazing flavor. The french toast is moist and delicious, never dry. And then the apples bake to perfection with a coating of cinnamon and sugar, and then you top that all off with a sweet caramel drizzle. Everyone always goes crazy for this french toast whenever I make it and demands the recipe! My husband requests it all the time for special occasions, like his birthday breakfast.
Cut bread into large slices (about 3 inches wide) and arrange in a lightly sprayed 9x13 inch pan. In a large bowl beat together eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Pour mixture over bread slices. Arrange apples on top of bread. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugars (sprinkle the brown sugar the most generously) over the apples. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Top with your favorite caramel topping. Mrs. Richardson's Butterscotch Caramel is our favorite but even better than that is making it from bagged caramels: 1 pkg wrapped caramels and 2/3 cup whipping cream. Melt together in microwave.
