Very yummy overall and got a lot of compliments on this one. However, 1) I thought this really needed salt. I made this twice and the second time added 1 tsp. salt which really improved the flavor, I thought. 2) I left it in the oven for more like 1 hr to really get a nice golden brown everywhere. 3) Definitely needs longer than 10 minutes to sit after baking. With those modifications, definitely a keeper!

Eh... Half liked and half didn't. Bland. Needed the syrup.

I used maple flavored sausage. Made the house smell AWESOME! I assembled the night before so it was easy cheesy to pop in the oven in the morning. The bread seemed a bit soggy so take heed with what other reviewers recommend by letting it sit before eating- it got more dense the longer it sat. If I reviewed yesterday I would've given it 3 stars. But the fact that while in church I could smell maple in my head and was looking forward to leftovers raised it to a 4 star review! I will be making this again!! Loved the apples and sausage!

Made this without pork sausage. I used turkey sausage for the wife. I also didn't peel the apples I just diced them up. Really good for a Sunday Brunch. The Pretty One & me ate almost the whole thing in one sitting. I may make one for the hungover partiers the day after St Pattys Day.

I enjoy cooking more when the recipe is easy to follow and all/most ingredients on hand. This recipe was so easy to put together and my family loved it. I did not have French bread but used what I had, whole wheat, and it stood just fine. I also cut recipe in half and had no problems. I also took advice from other reviews and allowed it to sit a bit longer and added walnuts.

Tried this on my family for our Christmas breakfast. Even the children loved it. It could have been the addition of the syrup they liked. Added chopped onions and peppers to the recipe. Great for a quick breakfast.

Made this for 2012 Christmas morning and everyone liked it. Nice change from breakfast sausage casserole (croutons, mushroom soup, etc) and easy to make. I used English Muffin Toast bread cut into cubes which had more body than bread since I didn't have french bread. Worked great! Some liked it plain, or with maple syrup as suggested. Will make it again but will add in sauted onions for a bit more flavor.

Definitely a keeper! EVERYONE thoroughly enjoyed this for Christmas morning brunch! Inasmuch as I LOVE maple syrup, I enjoyed this without the syrup. Sides of pepperocini and/or pickled asparagus compliment this recipe. As a leftover, I enjoyed it warm or straight out of the frig ... GREAT finger food! lol

I felt this recipe had too much bread in it. I would have liked it more custardy and I'm not sure I like the choice of cheddar cheese in here. If I make this again, I might try another kind of cheese and definitely cut the bread down by at least a 1/3. Somehow the flavors in this recipe just didn't come together for me like I expected they would.

This is unusual and good. My friends liked it better than I did. I only used 1/2 the amount of cheese and just poured some maple syrup on it right out of the oven for a little sweetner. That's easier than serving it separately.
