Equipment

Ingredients

12 oz baguette
8 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups whole milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
3 gala apples

Streusel topping

1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter cold and cubed

Instructions

For the casserole

First, chop the bread into bite-size pieces. Then, core the apples and chop them into bite-size pieces too. Set them aside while you prepare the egg custard.
Whisk the eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
Soak the bread cubes into the egg custard mixture. Make sure the bread is evenly coated.

For the topping

Mix brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl. Set it aside for now.

Casserole assembly

Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with butter. Place soaked bread into the prepared baking dish, mix in apple cubes and toss to combine.
Spread the cinnamon sugar topping mixture on top of the casserole and drop butter over it.
Finally, cover it with aluminium foil and refrigerate it overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375F and bake the casserole for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the egg custard has set.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Use your favorite toppings to make this casserole even better.
