I have made this recipe a couple of times and everyone has loved it!!! A couple of things I noticed is that I could only fit about 9 slices of bread in the pan before it started overflowing and it took 1 1/2 hours for mine to cook. I think next time I make it I will only use one can of apple pie filling and then I will be able to add more bread. Also make sure you spray the foil or it will stick.

This was good but the bread was quite soggy. It was more like bread pudding than French toast. I probably won't make it again.

This recipe was amazing. I chose it because, unlike many of the other "make ahead" french toast recipes, it truly was 100% ready to go in the morning. Just pop it in the oven. When I made it I used one can of apples, and made sure it was apples and water only--no high fructose corn syrup--to keep the recipe from being over-the-top sweet. The apples turned out so delicious, next time I probably will use two cans. I used Pepperidge Farm cinnamon raisin bread, and baked for 90 minutes. Everything else I kept exactly the same. I used a cake pan and had no problems with it boiling over. I didn't turn it upside down, and I thought it made a very nice presentation "as is" with the cinnamon swirl bread. The bread wasn't incredibly crispy, as pan fried French toast can be, but it certainly wasn't gooey either. I think using a slightly more substantial bread, like Italian or the cinnamon swirl, instead of white or French, makes a big difference. I made it for a brunch for 11 people, and everyone absolutely raved about it. It was so incredibly simple--15 minutes the night before and you're done. This will definitely become a staple in my house. Thanks for a real keeper! Note: I made this again and didn't bake it as long. Yuck! Make sure you bake it long enough.

The flavor of this french toast is really great, but you really need to make sure this is cooked completely through! At 60 minutes, mine looked done, but was still very wet at the bottom of the bread layer. We had to do a little improvising under the broiler, but all reviews were still very positive! This is a keeper for sure... longer cook time and maybe a little less milk. Yummy!

This was very easy to make and very good! My husband loved it. I cut the recipe in half and baked it in a 8x8 pan. Based on advise from others, I replaced 1/2 the milk with cream and cooked it for the full 75 minutes - it came out perfect and wasn't soggy at all. To perfect this recipe, all I'd do is use just a little less brown sugar and syrup, so it's not quite as sweet. Other than that, this recipe couldn't be any better!

HUGE hit with my husband and everyone at the office. Instead of usung canned apple pie filling, I sauteed my own in a little butter and maple syrup. This made it *perfect*!!!!

Mmmm great recipe! The only reason it did not receive 5 stars is because we did find it a little sweet for breakfast. I will definitely make this dish again for brunch, but I think next time I will use McIntosh apples instead of apple pie filling, I think the brown sugar gives it enough sweetness. I also want to mention that I cut this recipe in half and it turned out great!

I just made this for Christmas brunch this morning and it was a hit! I kept it in the oven a little longer to make sure the bread was cooked all the way through! I already passed it along to my family members. Nothing but yummy!
