Instructions
- Preheat oven 350°F. Coat 3-quart oblong baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place 1/2 cup sugar in large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar melts and begins to turn golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in butter until melted together. Fold in apple slices. If mixture hardens, keep stirring. It should dissolve again once apples have warmed.
- When mixture and apples are well combined, gradually add maple syrup, cooking for about 6 minutes or until apples are tender. Set mixture aside.
- In mixing bowl, beat together eggs, egg whites, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, until well mixed.
- Cover bottom of prepared dish with apple mixture. Lay bread slices on top of apple mixture. Carefully top with egg mixture.
- Let sit 15 minutes, allowing bread to soak up mixture. Bake 25–30 minutes. Serve immediately.
