CARAMEL APPLE FRENCH TOAST STRATA

It's still blowin' and snowin' here and the wind chill is between -5 to -15F...Brrrrrr. I'm not going out.

A good breakfast seemed like the thing to do, so I tried a recipe that was in the "to try" file. We really liked it and it wasn't as sweet as the name implies. In fact we both felt a little maple syrup was the right finishing touch.

Here's the recipe.

CARAMEL APPLE FRENCH TOAST STRATA

10 slices French bread, cubed

1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, cubed

1 apple, sliced

1 cup sliced almonds

6 eggs

1 cup milk

1 tbsp cinnamon

3/4 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp corn syrup

powdered sugar

syrup

Place half bread cubes into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with cream cheese cubes evenly. Sprinkle with apple slices. Top with remaining bread cubes and almonds. Beat eggs, milk and cinnamon; pour over bread mixture. (If making ahead of time, cover and refrigerate overnight) Combine butter, brown sugar and syrup in saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour over the top of mixture. Bake at 350° for 35-45 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with syrup.

Note: I baked this right away.
