Caramel Apple Strata Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 50 min. + standing

Yield: 12 Servings

20 50 70

Ingredients

2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup corn syrup
3 large apples, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 loaf (1 pound) day-old cinnamon bread
1/2 cup chopped pecans
10 eggs
1 cup 2% milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, sugar and pie spice. Arrange half of the bread slices in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Spoon apples over bread; drizzle with half of the caramel sauce. Sprinkle with pecans; top with remaining bread.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt and vanilla. Pour over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining caramel sauce.
Remove strata from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
In a small microwave-safe dish, microwave reserved sauce, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Drizzle over strata. Yield: 12 servings.

The smell in the kitchen was divine and all they could say when I sat it on the table was WOW! We're all pretty big eaters, but no one could get outside of 1/2 a piece. Good thing is - it's great warmed up too! Enjoy.

Very tasty ! I made a few changes for what we already had on hand. Used brown sugar and cinnamon bread and pumpkin pie spice. Lovely Sunday morning breakfast/brunch item. Will make again !

We had this for our special Christmas Eve breakfast. It was delicious! It is very sweet, almost like a dessert but very tasty.

I've made this twice now for a large group. Both times people asked me for the recipe. It was easy to make and turned out great.

I liked the texture but found the allspice flavor from the apple pie spice gave it an off flavor. Next time I will use cinnamon only.
