Apple Raisin Bread French Toast

With Myles in the hospital and me here at home with sick kids I have to keep busy. Last week we bought stuff to make Raisin Bread French Toast. We never got to it, but today I decided to make it and have it for breakfast tomorrow.  Everyone loves it - even Ryan who doesn't really like cooked raisins. We make this for Christmas breakfast sometimes. We also made it for the party we had after Genna's baptism.

1 pound loaf cinnamon raisin bread, cut in cubes
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, cut in small pieces
1 large granny smith apple
8 eggs
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup milk
6 Tablespoons butter, melted.

1/4 cup maple syrup

Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Put in half of the cubed bread in pan.

Sometimes we can find this yummy bread at Costco- comes in a pack of 2 loaves. We freeze one for later.

 Layer it with cream cheese and then the apples. (You could add extra apples or raisins here too!)

Top with the other half of the bread cubes.

 Mix the milk, butter, eggs and maple syrup. Pour over the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and press down so all the bread pieces are soaked. Cover and refrigerate over night.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Cook for 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
