Very easy and REALLY GOOD! I've never made a breakfast casserole...I'm hooked. Had to use what I had on hand. I cut recipe in half and used wheat bread instead of French bread, browned up 8oz pork sausage and I didn't have any shredded cheddar. I used 1 1/2 cps 4 cheese italian and dotted some velvetta cheese on top with alittle more 4 cheese italian. I always have an apple on hand and used a mutsu apple.....this baked up wonderful and now I can't wait to make it the way the recipe calls for. I used an 8x8 pan in the toaster oven. My husband loved it!!!

I made this today and it's like an apple pie in a jar! I used pint jars and it made six and a little extra I put in the refrigerator. I like it chunky so the only thing I can't figure out is how to keep the apple chunks from floating to the top. I am fairly new at this and can't wait to make more. I mixed up my apples and used 1 large fuji, 4 gala and 3 delicious apples. I started with a 1/2 cup of water but it seemed really thick before adding the sugars/spices. Just in case I added another 1/2 cup of water and it was fine. I also added some (a handful) of frozen cranberries chopped up. I thought the color contrast would be pretty. The cranberries boiled down but it's still really good. Will play more with it and looking forward to making it again.

I will never fix a ham the old way again. This is amazing. For me it's so much easier to already have the ham sliced while it's still cold. I had a packet of sugar glaze that came with the ham so I used 1/3 of the packet mixed with the brown sugar. Everyone loved it. I kept the liquid and served it as a gravy and that was also a hit. I bet this works well with pork chops! Hummm, I'll let you know. Happy Holidays to all and thank you for sharing this recipe!
