This is the easiest way to make french toast for a crowd! Slices of cinnamon-raisin bread soak up a custardy mixture of eggs, milk, and vanilla. In the middle, there’s a sweet layer of apples, brown sugar, and spices. Perfect for Mother Day or Easter when brunch is the main meal. Have fun with the kids and invite them to assist in dipping the bread and assembling the casserole. The 2-hour bake time leaves space in the morning for you to relax and get ready or just enjoy a few cups of coffee with family. Great for gatherings, this dish yields eight servings. Complete the meal with a simple green salad or fresh berries for a light and fresh side dish.
