Baked Apple Upside-Down French Toast

Breakfast Apple Untested

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. Granny Smith apples, peeled, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 6 Tablespoons butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 8 slices French bread, sliced ¾” thick
  • 6 to 7 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Preparation

Melt butter in large sauté pan and add sliced apples. Top apples with sugar and cinnamon and stir to incorporate. Saute over medium heat until apples are limp and translucent, about 10 minutes, stirring so they don’t scorch.

Pour apples into a 9” x 13” glass ovenproof baking dish. Top with sliced French bread. Fill any spaces with small pieces of sliced bread so that entire surface is covered. Whisk eggs with vanilla, nutmeg, milk and cream. Pour this mixture over the Bread evenly so that all pieces absorb the liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until morning.

The next morning, pre-heat the oven to 400º. Bake French toast for 25 minutes or until bread is golden and custard is set. Invert carefully onto a sheet pan and cut into squares to serve, apple-side-up. You may add the syrup of your choice and a dollop of crème fraiche. Serves 6 to 8.

Set aside while preparing topping. Make the streusel by cutting the cold butter into a bowl, adding flour, sugar and cinnamon, and rubbing it through your fingers until the streusel is a coarse, sandy/pebbly texture. Put the seasoned apples into the pan, top generously with the streusel, and bake at 350° about 30 minutes, until the streusel is golden brown and the apple is starting to bubble up through the topping.
