Caramel Apple French Toast


I had some apples I needed to use up and I found this recipe. This french toast is incredibly good. I felt like I was at a fancy Bed &Breakfast when I ate this. It was heaven in my mouth. The apples with the cinnamon topped off this yummy french toast perfectly. You have to make this. You can put a caramel sauce over the french toast to kick it up a notch as shown in the picture, but I think maple syrup drizzled over the top would be great as well. . Try this out and tell me what you think because seriously it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had.

Caramel Apple French Toast
from Favorite Family Recipes
*i found this too be a little sweet for my liking so next time I will probably cut back the amount of sugar and not sprinkle any over the apples.

1 loaf french bread
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
6 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar to taste

Cut bread into large slices and arrange in a lightly sprayed 9x13 inch pan.  In a large bowl beat together eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla.  Pour mixture over bread slices.  Arrange apples on top of bread.  Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar over the apples.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning bake for 1 hour at 350 until golden brown. 
 Top with your favorite caramel topping.  This is what I like:
1 pkg wrapped caramels
2/3 cup whipping cream
Melt together in microwave.
