Ingredients

• 8 slices French bread (day-old, sliced thick)
• 4 Apples (medium, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until the mixture is smooth and bubbling, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the sliced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined.

Step 5

Arrange the French bread slices in the prepared baking dish in an even layer, slightly overlapping if necessary.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring each piece is well soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the custard to absorb into the bread.

Step 7

Spoon the caramelized apple mixture over the top of the soaked bread, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

If using, sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the apples for added crunch and flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with additional maple syrup on the side, if desired.
