Fantastic Baked French Toast




I just finished making and eating this. Was perfectly delicious. Sinfully rich and sweet. Perfect for a weekend treat!! 

Oven-Baked Caramel Apple French Toast
Adapted from Taste of Home

Caramel Sauce
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

French Toast
one apple chopped up.
8 to 12 slices french bread
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ( extra nutmeg)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt

options: Copped pecans and raisins.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F







In a small saucepan, combine caramel ingredients.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, boil for one minute. Remove from heat. Meanwhile make the eggs. Combine eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a blender. Pour caramel sauce in pan, add apples and nuts and raisins, if using.





Put a layer of french bread over top. Crowding it in is fine.







Pour egg mixture evenly over bread. Sprinkle some more cinnamon over the bread.  (can be made the night before just cover and refrigerate it overnight.)




bake for 40 to 45 minutes until puffy and light golden brown.





To serve, invert onto a serving latter, but so it very carefully, that caramel sauce is hot and will burn.








 Serve with whipped cream and drizzle some of the warm sauce and apples over top!
