Apple-Stuffed French Toast
Jun 26th, 2008 | By admin | Category: FoodsVegetable oil cooking spray
8 slices cinnamon raisin bread without icing (such as Sun Maid)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups shredded apple (about 2-3 medium apples)
3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 egg
3/4 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Spray an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Place four slices of raisin bread in a single layer in the bottom of the dish.
In a small dish or measuring cup, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture in a separate container. Peel apples and grate them. Squeeze excess liquid from the grated apples.
Add the cinnamon sugar mixture (minus the 1 tablespoon) to the grated apples and stir to combine. Evenly divide the apple mixture over the four slices of raisin bread and spread to cover each slice. Top the apples with the remaining four slices of raisin bread.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese at medium speed of mixer until smooth. Add the egg, milk and vanilla; mix well. Pour egg mixture over raisin bread. Refrigerate at least 45 minutes or overnight.
