A delightful twist on the classic French toast casserole, featuring layers of spiced apples and a hint of honey.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect bake.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Use a nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
Cut the bread into cubes and layer them evenly in the prepared dish.
Stale bread works best as it absorbs the mixture better.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/4 cup honey, salt, vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for even flavor distribution.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes.
Press the bread lightly to help it soak up the custard.
Slice the apples thinly and arrange them over the bread layer.
Leave the apple peel on for added texture and nutrients.
Drizzle the remaining honey over the apples and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon.
Adjust the amount of honey to your desired sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing into portions and serving.
Serve with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
