This is pretty much my bread pudding recipe, though in fall I use chopped fresh cranberries and grated orange rind / raisins or dried cherries the rest of the year. Love the idea of an apple topping!

Great recipe - i made it for a breakfast party for graduating high school seniors - a big hit! I'm going to experiment with making this recipe in muffin tins for next time, it could be easier for serving/portions.

This is just bread pudding - it's not French toast in any way, shape or form. Sounds like a good, basic bread pudding, though. Add some chopped pecans and some bourbon or dark rum to the maple syrup, top with whipped cream and you have desert!

Great suggestions for serving, though bread pudding is generally better than "just" imo.

What a perfect dish for entertaining! Easy to assemble the night before, and makes the entire house smell like apple pie in the morning. The fact that it’s baked means all the pieces are ready at once. No more serving half the table, while the other half waits not-so-patiently for their breakfast. I would recommend slicing bread no more than 1 inch thick, to help avoid sogginess.

I love this, too. It seems perfect for when you have overnight guests and need something that isn't too labor-intensive in the morning for breakfast.

And who doesn't love warm apples and cinnamon first thing in the morning?? I like how this is not too heavy, and seems not too sweet. I've always been a big fan of the cheap supermarket Italian bread for French toast. It's about the only bread I ever buy, and only for this purpose. ;o)

Great recipe! I do believe the ingredients, and like them. This looks light yet flavorful . . . .and scrumptious. Very, very nice. ;o)
