Ingredients

1 loaf French Bread (baguette)

8 eggs

3 1/2 cups milk

1 cup sugar, divided

1 teaspoon Vanilla

1 tablespoon Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon Ginger

Pinch of Cloves

1 tablespoon of butter, cut in pea sized pieces

5-6 medium cooking apples (Gala)

Spray a 13 x 9 inch pan with cooking spray. Slice bread into 1 ½-inch thick slices and tightly pack into pan.

In a large bowl whisk eggs, milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla until blended and pour half the milk/egg mixture over the bread.

Peel, core and slice apples and arrange half of the apple slices (in rows) on top of the bread.

Mix together the remaining sugar (1/2 cup), cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves and sprinkle half of the mixture over the apples.

Arrange remaining apple slices on top of the cinnamon mixture.

Pour the remaining milk/egg mixture over the apples and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.

Dot with butter, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. It will rise high and brown.
