Have you tried this delicious Apple Cinnamon French Toast recipe?

I was looking in old by-product recipe collections and found this yummy sounding do-ahead (for a brunch) recipe. Anyone ever do it? I'm wondering if I am supposed to use "raw" dough or the loaf already made...

Apple Cinnamon French Toast

1 loaf (8 oz) French bread 1/8 tsp salt
6 eggs 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups milk 4 Granny Smith apples
8 Tbls sugar, divided 2 Tbls butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla Maple flavored syrup

Spray Rectangular Baker with vegetable oil using Kitchen Spritzer. Cut bread into 1 inch thick slices (10-16 slices) using Serrated Bread Knife; arrange closely in single layer in Baker.

In Classic Batter Bowl, beat eggs with Stainless Steel Whisk. Whisk in milk, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, vanilla and salt. Pour over bread.

Combine the remaining 5 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in Flour/Sugar Shaker. Peel, core and slice apples using Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer. Cut into rings by slicing down one side of each apple with 3 inch Paring Knife. Place half of apples over bread. Sprinkle half of the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over apples. Repeat layers.

Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400. Cut butter into small pieces and arrange over apples. Bake, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until apples are tender. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with syrup. Makes 8 servings

I would say have the bread already cooked. It would not suggest leaving it in the frig overnight with raw dough...let me know how it comes out, it sounds WONDERFUL!!!

Now I'm onto fluted stone recipes - look at this one:

French Toast Bundt

24 frozen dinner rolls, thawed but still cold
2 egg whites
1/3 cup liquid hazlenut coffee creamer
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger

Cut rolls in half. Mix other ingredients in a bowl. Dip rolls in mixture and place in Fluted Pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Pour remaining mixture over rolls. Re-cover with wrap and let rise at room temperature until rolls reach the top of the pan.

Remove wrap and bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Invert on a serving platter. Drizzle with syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Slice and serve with additional syrup as desired.

OMG!!!!
Now that sounds AWESOME!!!!
1 question, when it says mix other ingredients, does it mean all of them? I'm thinking maybe not the Maple Syrup.....let me know...Thanks!

I make the Apple Cinnamon French toast for all my brunch shows that have more than 15 people. It is a huge success, always. Easy to do and I always sell a few bakers because of the make it the day before method.

I was just at my sister's bridal shower last weekend and her soon-to-be MIL made that! I didn't know it was a PC recipe! It was really dee-lish, and no leftovers to be found! I'm excited to have the recipe...next time I host brunch, this is IT!

Mandy -

Do you find that 1 recipe of the Apple Cinnamon French Toast is enough for 15 people or do you double it?

I have a brunch next week w/15 people and would love to try this!

Bumping up.

 

[MandyK]

I would double it if it is the main dish -- otherwise everyone will get only 1 "slice" of the baguette. At my shows I often cut each baguette slice in half so there are more sample size bites.
