	Inactive Prep Time: 8 hr

Ingredients:
½ cup butter
1 ¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 Tablespoon water

3 Granny Smith apples
Cinnamon, to taste (we like lots!)
½ cup raisins, optional
1 loaf French bread, sliced 1 ½ inch thick (about 8 slices)
1 ½ cups milk
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Creme Topping:
Crème Topping
½ cup whipping cream (or Cool Whip)
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract OR orange extract

Whip on high until thickened. Place 2 tablespoons of topping on top of each serving of French Toast.

Absolutely delicious and so easy to make!

Instructions:
Prepare the night before or at least 3 hours in advance.

Combine butter, brown sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat on medium until bubbling, stirring frequently. Place in a 9” x 13” pan and allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes.

Peel, core and slice apples. Place the slices in rows, close together (overlapping), on top of the caramel sauce in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and raisins.
Place the slices of bread on top of the apples. Mix together the milk, eggs, and vanilla. Pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate over night. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 60 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the top.

Serve upside-down. Spoon any extra sauce in the pan over the French toast. Serve with Crème Topping and garnish with nuts, if desired. Serves 6.
