Slow Cooked Apple Cinnamon French Toast
My husband works nights delivering linens to hospitals and nursing homes. As a retired nurse, I worked for many years at night too. I try to stay on his schedule, so I often put this casserole together when I am making dinner and refrigerate it. I start the slow cooker around midnight, so when he gets home the meal is ready for breakfast. And though we are empty nesters, I make the full recipe because leftovers reheat so well in the microwave.
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf (1 pound) italian bread, cubed
- 3 medium tart apples, peeled and chopped
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups 2% milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup caramel apple dip
- 1 cup maple syrup
Directions:
- In a greased 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker, combine bread and apples. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Pour over bread mixture and stir to combine; gently press bread down into milk mixture. Cook, covered, on low until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 3-4 hours.
- Meanwhile, combine caramel syrup ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth and heated through. Serve warm with French toast.

I enjoyed this dish more than I expected. The dish was filling yet let, thanks to its bright, warm flavors. The heat of the garlic and red pepper flakes, matched with the sharp lemon juice, made the dish feel that much more comforting. The combination of flavors were well balanced and it was easy to put together. I halved this and it was a generous amount for two people; and thought that olives were a great salty counterpoint to the mild fish (we used sole)—and it was great with crusty bread. I'd recommend stirring in the lemon juice, zest, and spices just before adding the fish so as not to break it up too much.
