Overnight Caramel Apple French Toast

You will never have tastier french toast than this...  You're welcome.  Perhaps I should be apologizing?  Oh well ;)

Ingredients:

• 1 c. packed brown sugar
• ½ c. butter
• 2 large tart apples, sliced
• 3 eggs
• 1 c. milk (psst - rice milk works great, too)
• 1 t. vanilla
• 9 slices French bread

Directions:

1. In small saucepan, cook brown sugar and butter until thick about 5-7 minutes.
2. Pour into ungreased 9 x 13 baking pan.  Arrange apples on top.
3. In mixing bowl, beat eggs, milk and vanilla.
4. Dip bread slices into the egg mixture and place over apples.
5. Cover and refrigerate over night.
6. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

And there you have it!  I'll have you know that it is even great eaten cold (after it's been baked, of course).  Enjoy (you can simultaneously bless/curse my name afterwards)!  *B
