One time back when I lived in Indiana a few friends invited me to a recipe swap. I had no idea what a recipe swap was and I was too embarrassed to ask. I figured I should bring a recipe so I printed off a few copies of my favorite French bread and brought them along.
But when I got there everyone was swapping ALL of the recipes they had. Duh. I felt kind of stupid. And also like a stealer, because I’m sitting over here furiously writing down all of their awesome recipes and in return I’m like uhh, here’s some bread? One of the most basic recipes of all time? (I mean it’s legit bread, but still. Six ingredients.)
One of the recipes from this awesome swap was for this French Toast Bake. It’s soooo good. I actually licked my plate. (Don’t give me that look.) It’s got cinnamon bread, but there’s no cinnamon in the recipe, which means that the caramel part really has room to shine. Plus the upside down presentation is so pretty.
Also, did I mention that I don’t even like apple desserts? I mean I like apples, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t like them when they are mushy and flavorless and using cinnamon to cover up their nothingness. But THIS. I’m telling you. Glorious tender caramel-y awesomeness.
