A delightful breakfast bake combining the flavors of cinnamon, apple, and a creamy custard for a perfect morning treat.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
Ensure the dish is well-greased to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined.
Use softened butter for easier mixing.
Spread the sugar mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.
Ensure an even layer for consistent caramelization.
Arrange the apple slices over the sugar mixture.
Overlap the slices slightly for a decorative look.
Layer the bread slices over the apples, pressing down gently.
Use slightly stale bread for better absorption.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring it is fully absorbed.
Pour slowly to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.
This step allows the flavors to meld and the bread to fully absorb the custard.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
Bake the covered dish for 60 minutes.
Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the foil, drizzle maple syrup over the top, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
This step adds a caramelized finish to the dish.
Let the dish cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the bake to set and makes serving easier.
