- 2 tblsp corn syrup -
- 1/2 cup raisins - or more to taste

Instruction
- Slice bread into 1 inch thick slices. Set aside.
- Prepare a 13x9 inch pan with cooking spray.
- Place slices in your prepared pan. Cut slices in half where necessary so that there is one full layer of bread covering the bottom of the pan.
- Open your can of pie filling and spread it across the top of the bread layer as evenly as possible. Sprinkle with raisins if desired.
- Top pie filling with remaining bread. Again, cut slices in half to create a bread layer that overlaps the bottom.
- I love to open the second can of pie filling and spread it on top of the bread to create a second apple layer if you so desire.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Pour over bread and apples.
- Adjust bread and egg mixture to try and make sure bread is coated as best you can.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
