-
Empty the bread into a bowl and tear each slice up into little pieces.
-
Add the dates, apples, raisins and walnuts to the bread and gently combine with your hands or a spoon. (Don't use a stand mixer)
-
Now take your casserole pan or a bundt pan and grease the same with 1 tsp butter.
-
Empty the bread mixture, from the bowl, into the pan and set aside.
-
In the bowl beat the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon powder together and pour this mixture over the bread mixture in the pan evenly. Set aside.
-
Now heat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. (Don't do this in the beginning. Doing this at this stage of the process allows the egg mixture to absorb into the bread mixture before baking)
-
This should take about 45 minutes to bake.
-
Just before you serve your delicious Apple French Toast Casserole, sprinkle a mixture of powdered sugar and cinnamon powder.
