Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons margarine
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 3 tart apples, sliced
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions:

1. Prepare Apple Mixture:

   • In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup.
   • Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Pour the mixture into an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
   • Arrange sliced apples evenly over the mixture.

2. Prepare French Toast Mixture:

   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Assemble:

   • Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated, and let them soak for about 1 minute.
   • Arrange the soaked bread slices over the sliced apples in the baking pan.

4. Refrigerate Overnight:

   • Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the bread to absorb the liquid mixture.

5. Preheat and Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Remove the baking pan from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
   • Bake the French toast, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.

6. Prepare Syrup:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine applesauce, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.
   • Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture is hot and well combined.

7. Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the Overnight Apple French Toast from the oven and let it cool slightly.
   • Serve warm, topped with the prepared applesauce syrup, for a deliciously sweet and aromatic breakfast treat.
