Overnight Apple French Toast

adapted from Three Sisters' Cafe

1½ cups brown sugar
½ cup butter
2 Tablespoons white corn syrup
3-4 large apples, peeled, seeded, and sliced
6 eggs
1 cup milk
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 nutmeg
1½ teaspoons vanilla
1 loaf of French bread, sliced thick
more cinnamon and nutmeg for dusting

Melt butter in saucepan and add brown sugar and corn syrup. Heat for 5 minutes, allowing it to boil. Remove from heat and pour into a 9x13 glass pan. Place apples over the caramel in the pan. In a separate bowl mix the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Dip the bread into the mixture, coating liberally. Place bread over apples in the pan (you won't need all the bread, just enough to fill the pan). Sprinkle very generously with cinnamon and a bit more nutmeg. Cover and refrigerate overnight so that all the flavors can penetrate. In the morning, heat the oven to 350°F and cook for 45 minutes.
