Overnight Apple Caramel French Toast

I’m always on the lookout for brunch dishes that can be made ahead of time. My sister-in-law, Kelly, gave me this recipe for Overnight Apple Caramel French Toast and everyone loved it. It’s not too sweet and it doesn’t take long to put together.

Below the photos is the complete recipe if you’d like to print it out.

Layer apples that have been cooked in a brown sugar, butter and cinnamon mixture.

Top with bread then pour over that eggs, milk and vanilla.

Overnight the bread really soaks up the milk/egg mix.

Bake for 40 minutes, add a little butter and REAL maple syrup and everyone will be happy!
