Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 heaping cups diced apples (4 to 5 apples)
  • 8 cups cubed bread
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, mix granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon with whisk.
  • 2
    Heat 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat; melt butter in skillet. Add apples and half of the cinnamon-sugar; stir to coat. Cook about 10 minutes or until apples are tender.
  • 3
    Butter 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish; spread half of the bread in bottom. Top with half of the apple mixture; repeat.
  • 4
    In bowl, beat half-and-half, milk, eggs, vanilla and remaining cinnamon-sugar with whisk. Pour mixture over bread and apples, pressing down with spoon so everything gets soaked. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 12 hours to allow bread to soak up custard.
  • 5
    Remove from refrigerator. Heat oven to 350°F. Bake about 40 minutes or until edges and top of bread are golden and casserole has puffed up a bit. Cool on rack 15 minutes before serving.
  • 6
    In small bowl, beat glaze ingredients with whisk. Drizzle over casserole.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Double the glaze for even more sweetness, or pair it with maple syrup!
  • tip 2
    Use any good bread for this recipe--rustic breads, challah and brioche are my favorites for casseroles like this! A day or two old is best.
  • tip 3
    Use whatever apples you like to cook with. I chose to use half tart Granny Smiths and half my favorite Honeycrisps for this recipe.
