Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped (I like to use Gala)
  • 1 loaf of french or Challah bread cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • Streusel topping
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

Instruction

  • Grease or spray (with non-stick spray) a 9×13 baking dish.
  • Place sprinkle apple and bread pieces evenly in the baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugars, cinnamon, and vanilla until well blended. Pour evenly over the bread, trying to get every piece wet with the batter.
  • Cover the pan and place in the fridge overnight (at least 8 hours).
  • For the streusel topping – in another bowl or in your food processor, add the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until blended. Then add the butter cubes and pulse in your food processor or cut with a pastry blender until crumbly with pea sized pieces. Cover streusel mixture and refrigerate.
  • In the morning, preheat oven to 350. Uncover the 9 x 13 pan and sprinkle the streusel mixture all over the top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cut into squares and serve warm topped with maple syrup if desired. Serves 12-18.
