Baked Apple French Toast with Carmel Sauce

Made this the Sunday morning mom was in town. YUMMY!! You could almost classify it as a dessert, and thus it really needs to be served with eggs or hashbrowns! Got it out of the Lion House Recipe Book grandma gave us a few years back.

French Toast

Ingredients:
1 loaf French bread, sliced in 1 ½” slices
9 eggs
2 ¼ c. milk
¾ c. sugar
1 ½ TBSB vanilla
8 medium apples, peeled & sliced (Fuji, Jonathan or Granny Smith)
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
¾  tsp. ground nutmeg
4 ½ TBSB packed brown sugar

Directions:
The night before serving, coat 3 6x9” baking dishes with nonstick cooking spray. Layer bread slices on the bottom of each pan. Combine eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl; beat well and pour over bread slices. Place apple slices on top of bread. Sprinkle apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, preheat oven to 350°. Bake covered about 50 minutes; remove foil and bake 10 minutes more. Serve toast hot, topped with Caramel Sauce. Makes 10-12 servings.

Caramel Sauce

¾ c. flour
1 c. butter, melted
