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. ;)
 
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.
