Ingredients

  • 1 (1 lb) loaf of bread cut into 1" cubes (sourdough, brioche or challah)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 1 can (21 0z) apple pie filling or homemade apple pie filling

Topping:

Instructions

  • Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and add bread to a well-greased baking dish. (Stale bread works great too.)
  • Add eggs, milk and sour cream to a large bowl or blender, whisking well or blending on low until fully incorporated. Add vanilla, cinnamon and salt and continue mixing together until fully blended homogenously.
  • Pour egg mixture over bread cubes and make sure that all pieces of bread are in contact with the egg mixture; press down on bread with a large spoon as needed to coat.
  • Spread apple pie filling over bread evenly.
  • For the topping, in a separate bowl, combine flour, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut ingredients together until mixture is crumbly. (You can also use your hands to do this.)
  • Spread topping evenly over the apple pie and bread mixture.
  • Cover pan and place in the fridge overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  • THE NEXT MORNING: Remove pan from refrigerator.
  • Place cold French toast bake in the oven and then turn oven on to 350 degrees. (Yes you are starting from cold.) Bake approximately 50-60 minutes. You are looking for the top to be golden brown and the middle to be firm. Bake in additional 5-minute increments until done, adding foil if the top appears to be done or browning too quickly.
  • Serve with jam or maple syrup if desired.
