Cooking Steps
- Peel, core, then cut apple into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp butter, then apples. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min.
- Meanwhile, cut brioche into 1-inch pieces.
- Whisk together eggs, brown sugar, Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix, cream and 1/8 tsp salt in a large bowl.
- Add brioche and apples to egg mixture. Stir to coat until liquid is absorbed.
- Add mixture to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish. Cover with foil.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until puffed and golden-brown, 38-40 min. (NOTE: Remove the foil in the last 5 min of baking.)
- Meanwhile, arrange bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the bottom of the oven until crispy and cooked through, 12-15 min.**
- Allow apple french toast bake to cool slightly before serving, 3-5 min.
- Serve with maple syrup and bacon on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The sweet-savoury combination of apple, warming spice, and bacon was a hit with families and guests alike. Some reviewers found the flavour mild and suggest adding extra cinnamon to boost it.
- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this recipe straightforward and easy to pull together, even for a relaxed weekend morning.
- Suggestions: Add extra cinnamon or increase the apple quantity for a more pronounced flavour; some reviewers also found that extending the bake time by about 10 minutes helped the centre set properly. Greasing the baking dish thoroughly and removing the foil at the right moment can help prevent sticking and a dry or burnt top layer.
- Leftovers: This bake keeps well and tastes great cold, making it a solid choice for next-day enjoyment.
- Texture: A few reviewers noted the centre can turn out mushy; allowing the bread to fully absorb the egg mixture before baking and confirming the bake is set before removing it from the oven can help achieve a better result.
