🧂 Ingredients

• 16 oz French bread

  (or thick-sliced bread like brioche, cubed)
• 1½ teaspoon cinnamon

  (or ½ cinnamon, apple pie spice combo)
• 6 large eggs
• 2 cups half & half

  (or whole milk, or heavy cream)
• ¼ cup light brown sugar

  (packed)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 21 oz apple pie filling

  (1 21-ounce can or see my recipe)
• ½ cup old fashioned oats

  (or quick cooking oats)
• ⅓ cup light brown sugar

  (packed)
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoon butter

  (melted)

Instructions

• 1 Grease or spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick baking or cooking spray.
  Arrange the cubed 16 oz French bread in an even layer in your baking dish then
  top with 1½ teaspoon cinnamon (or cinnamon and apple pie spice combo).
• 2 In a large mixing bowl beat the 6 large eggs then add the 2 cups half & half, ¼
  cup light brown sugar , 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and 1 pinch salt. Whisk
  until well combined then pour over the layer of cubed bread.
• 3 Use the flat side of a wooden spoon and press down on the soaking bread to make
  an even layer. Add the canned 21 oz apple pie filling and spread evenly over the
  soaked bread.
• 4 At this point, you can set aside the baking dish, preheat the oven, and mix the
  streusel oatmeal topping, or cover and refrigerate the partially assembled
  casserole for 1 hour to soak in the liquid (up to overnight).
• 5 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) while you mix the last casserole
  layer.
• 6 In a small bowl, whisk together the ½ cup old fashioned oats or quick cooking
  oats, ⅓ cup light brown sugar, and ⅓ cup all-purpose flour. Add the melted 3
  tablespoon butter to the mixed dry ingredients and mix using a fork until the
  butter is well distributed and your topping has a crumble texture.
• 7 Spread the topping over your breakfast casserole then bake in the middle of your
  oven's center rack at 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) for 45-50 minutes.
• 8 Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Dust with confectioners' sugar if
  desired, or serve with whipped cream and maple syrup or caramel syrup.
