Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole

So we are off to the lake this weekend. The First trip of the season.  I am always on the hunt for some new EASY & HEALTHY recipes to try. We don’t have a lot of space so I don’t like things that have a lot of prep work. So I have pre prepped the ingredients at home so that I just need to throw it all in the crock pot when I'm ready to cook it.  

Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole

 

Ingredients

·         2 whole eggs

·         2 egg whites

·         1 1/2 cups 1% milk, (almond)

·         2 tablespoon honey

·         1 teaspoon vanilla extract

·         1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

·         9 Slices whole grain bread or Ezekiel Break

         FILLING:

·         3 cups finely diced uncooked apple pieces (Honey Crisp or Gala are both great in this recipe)

·         3 tablespoon honey

·         1 teaspoon lemon juice

·         1/3 cup diced raw pecans

·         1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Add the first 6 ingredients to a medium mixing bowl, whisk to combine. Lightly spray the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

Add all the filling ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir to coat apple pieces, set aside.

Cut bread slices into triangles (that's in half, just triangle shaped). Place one layer of bread (6 triangles) on the bottom of the slow cooker, add ¼ of the filling and repeat until there are 3 layers of bread. Add the remaining filling to the top.

Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and cook on high 2 to 2-1/2 or low 4 hours, or until bread has soaked up the liquid.

3 Bananas (diced) can be substituted for apples.

Note: Drizzle with 100% pure maple syrup if desired.
