Baked this for my MOPS group and everyone loved it! My husband asked when I was going to make it again after his first bite. Delicious!

I made this for Christmas brunch with my family, and everyone loved it. It was so good, it was like having dessert for breakfast. Instead of French bread, I used Cinnamon Raisin. Yum!

This will be our new Christmas brunch tradition - really yummy! The change I made was to use maple syrup instead of corn syrup.

Awesome, and easy to make! Leftovers are good as a dessert, with ice cream.

This was delicious! My family enjoyed it except for one who doesn't like baked apple anything. My cooking time took about an hour though, so not sure why the difference. We used syrup and/or whipped topping. The whipped topping was great (without syrup) on this. Some preferred no additional topping. Thanks for the recipe.
