Ingredients
1loaf country white bread, cut into 1 inch pieces
8eggs
2cupsmilk
1tspvanilla
2tspcinnamon
21ozcan apple pie filling
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Cut the bread into roughly 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Gently toss or press the bread down so the pieces are coated and have a chance to soak up the mixture.
Spoon the apple pie filling over the bread, spreading it across the casserole so you get some in every serving.
Bake uncovered for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats, then bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
