Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 2 9 ounce loaves baguette-style French bread

  • 1 large red-skin cooking apple (such as Jonathan or Gala) cored and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 cup milk

  • ½ cup caramel-flavor ice cream topping

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 2-qt. rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. Trim ends off baguettes and discard. Cut remaining baguettes crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange bread slices on edges in the prepared baking dish. Top bread with apple. Brush apple with lemon juice.

  2. In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, 2 Tbsp. of the ice cream topping, the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Slowly pour egg mixture over bread, making sure to pour between each slice.

  3. Bake, uncovered, 35 to 40 minutes or until top is golden brown, apple is tender, and mixture is heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with remaining ice cream topping.
