Equipment

9x13 Baking Dish or 3-quart Casserole Dish
Mixing Bowls
Whisk

Ingredients

1 loaf French bread cut into 1-inch cubes
4 eggs beaten
½ cup half-and-half
½ cup 2% milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup butter
3 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and diced
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Place the bread cubes into a large mixing bowl and set that aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs half-and-half, milk, sugar, and vanilla unitl well combined. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and let rest for 10 minutes so the bread can soak up the liquid.
While the bread rests, add the butter to a large skillet and place over medium heat. Once melted, add apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir the apples until they are warmed through but not mushy, about 5-10 minutes.
Add the apples to the bread cubes and gently fold them all together. Then pour everything into the prepared baking dish and spead into an even layer.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.
