French Toast Apple Pie Bake

When I made the Pioneer Woman's Flat Apple Pie back in January, I fell in love with cooked apples.  I've even started to crave the stuff.  Craving enough that it's what I want for my birthday dessert :)

So as I was searching through A Southern Fairytale's Recipe Archive and saw this, I knew that I had to try it.  I did mine a little bit different, but I think the end result is all the same :)

 I greased a large dish {I think I pulled the biggest one that I own}because when I watched Rachel's video, it looked like with the bread, you would need a large dish.  I then poured over 2 cans of apple-pie filling.....I wanted to eat the apples then; but I resisted.  I then sliced french bread {from the loaves that I got the day before} & arranged it in the pan {we like french bread french toast}.  I then beat ip 8 eggs with some cinnamon & half/half & poured it over the top of everything; I made sure to cover the tops of all the bread pieces.  I covered the pan with plastic wrap and stuck it in the fridge.  A couple of hours later, I pulled it out and put it into a 375 degree oven and baked it for 30 minutes.

 It turned out DELICIOUS!  My favorite part, those apples:

 My husband thought that it needed some Cool-Whip......but he resisted.
