Overnight Apple French Toast

Recipe Description:

This is a great way to use up leftover bread, and is very simple to throw together the evening before! Easily adaptable for different diet needs as well.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 1 Hours

Servings: 9x13 pan

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

1 loaf leftover spelt challah bread (soaked or sourdough)

2 large apples, chopped roughly

1 T. homemade vanilla extract

For topping:

5-6 T. butter

1/2 c. sucanat

1 c. crispy pecans, chopped

2 T. maple syrup

Recipe Instructions:

The evening before, grease a 9x13 pan. Tear up bread into chunks and place in pan, filling about halfway, then sprinkle apples over. Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, spices and vanilla and pour over bread mixture, stirring to make sure bread and apples are submerged in liquid. Cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, pull pan out to warm up and preheat oven to 350. Melt butter, add sucanat, pecans and maple syrup. Stir bread mixture again, then sprinkle topping over. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until puffed and set. Serve hot!

NOTE: This is easily adaptable to your family's needs...I also made a smaller pan for the children on special diets, using grain-free almond and coconut flour bread, using all raw milk and no cream, and using honey for the sweetener. Still turned out great! I also added a bit of almond flour to the topping to help make up for the lack of dry sweetener.
