Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 loaf (8 oz) French bread, cut into
  • 1/2-inch slices
  • 2 small McIntosh apples, cored, peeled, and thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the butter on one side of each bread slice. Arrange the bread slices butter side up in the casserole dish; alternate with the apples and raisins.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt until well-combined. Pour over the bread mixture. Press the bread down into the milk mixture with a fork. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
Note: To give this a nice shiny coating, brush the top with additional maple syrup after removing it from the oven.


Serves 4 to 6
