Caramelized French Toast: serves 8-10

Ingredients:

• 1 cup light brown sugar 3 tablespoons light Karo syrup
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3 to 4 Granny Smith apples
• 6 slices Texas toast
• 6 eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 

Preparation:

• Preparation Time: 20 minutes
• Cooking Time: 45 minutes 
• Temperature: 350°
• Container Size: 9x13-inch glass dish

Method:

Combine brown sugar, Karo syrup and butter in a  saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Pour into a greased or sprayed 9x13-inch baking dish. (Note: Warm the dish slightly to help spread the caramelized mixture.

Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla and pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature (approx. 1 hour) before baking. Bake as specified or until golden brown. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Peel and slice the apples and place on top of the caramel mixture. Cube Texas toast and spread evenly on top of the caramel/apple mixture. This should fill up the dish

*Recipe can be served without the apples and it is just as good!. This is delicious served with scrambled eggs, sausage and fresh-squeezed orange juice.
