When I speak at MOPS groups, I rarely eat before I speak. I am terrified that I will burp all through the talk. However, one particular speaking engagement, I couldn’t resist the sweet smell of this recipe! It was absolutely delicious. Lady Jennifer was so sweet to share the recipe with me and I’m happy to bring it to you, too.
Ingredients:
1 Cup of Brown Sugar (I use a little less than this)
1/2 Cup of Butter, Melted
3 Teaspoons of Cinnamon (divided)
3 Tart Apples (Peeled, Cored, & Thinly Sliced)
1/2 Cup of Dried Cranberries
1 Loaf of French or Italian Bread, Cut in 1″ Slices
6 Large Eggs
1 1/2 Cups of Milk
1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
- Combine the brown sugar, melted butter, and a teaspoon of the cinnamon in the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Dissolve the sugar and cinnamon into the butter.
- Add the apples and cranberries. Toss to coat them completely and then spread in the bottom of the pan evenly until its covered.
- Arrange the 1 inch slices of the bread on top of the apples.
- Thoroughly combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, and remaining cinnamon. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread slices, making sure each piece of bread is coated and completely soaked.
- Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate 4-24 hours.
- Bake covered, at 375 for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
You can serve this from the pan or flip the pan over and serve with the apple cranberry mixture on top. You could even sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar or walnuts. It doesn’t really even require syrup because of the ooey gooey sweetness baked right into the recipe.

trying to figure out the “sugar” (add a teaspoon of the sugar…). Is it missing from the list of ingredients? — ahh – came back to comment I figured it out, but comment hadn’t posted…
Instructions should say cinnamon instead of sugar (and a teaspoon of the sugar in the bottom of a 9×13 pan).
Thanks for passing along the recipe! excited to try!
Whoops! Thanks for catching it. Will correct it. Hope you enjoy. 🙂
