Throughout the week, you're constantly on the go. Hopefully, though, you get a little time to yourself on Sundays. And what better time to put together a meal that will last you most of the week, and save you some valuable time in the morning? Here's what you'll need to get started:
Ingredients To Gather:
- 1 loaf French bread, Cubed
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup caramel ice cream topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1½ cups diced green apples
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- Apple Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 cup diced green apples
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1⅓ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
The Step By Step Directions To Follow:
Place half of the cubed French bread in the bottom of the baking dish and set the other half aside.
In a large mixing bowl beat the eggs with a whisk until well blended. Add heavy cream, milk, caramel sauce, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk until well blended. Set aside.
Sprinkle 1 cup apples over the bread cubes.
Divide the cream cheese into quarter inch cubes and place over the top of the apples.
Pour half of the egg mixture over the top.
Place the remainder of the bread cubes over the top of the casserole and sprinkle the remainder of the apples over the bread. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the top and press the bread cubes into the egg mixture.
While your casserole bakes for 35-45 minutes at 350°, prepare the apple syrup by sauteing them until they become tender, adding cinnamon, cream, and brown sugar, and allowing the mixture to boil for one minute.
Store the syrup separately to use whenever you cut yourself a slice. I know it's a breakfast casserole, but no one will tell if you sneak some for a little snack at night! Enjoy!
