I made this for Mother's Day brunch and it was a big hit with everyone! After reading previous comments, I altered the recipe slightly, but think we would have enjoyed it if I had made it just as directed. I sliced the apples instead of dicing, using 2 cups instead of 1; I added raisins to the middle layers and the top and sprinkled brown sugar on top of the apples. I also served it with homemade syrup. Delicious!

Loved it, though I tweaked it a bit like other users. I added 2 heaping Tbsp brown sugar, 1 Tbsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon to the cream cheese and mixed it really well, spread it on the bread, then cubed it. I cut the eggs to 6 instead of 8 and used 2 cups of apples instead of one. Dusted with powdered sugar after it baked and it came out Fantabulous. I make this every time it is my turn for breakfast at church.

This was a hit at my Easter brunch. Made some simple changes, added enough apples to cover the pan, used the whole slice of bread instead of cubes, added a tsp of vanilla extract to the egg mix.

I made this for Easter breakfast, and I so wanted to like it, unfortunately it was very bland. Might try making it again and adding more cinnamon etc...

As written, this was a gooey mess. We ate off the top, but the rest went to the chickens.

This has been a crowd pleaser whenever I bring it to a brunch. Modifications- I beat the cream cheese w/ a hand mixer, add in 2tsp of vanilla extract and a tsp of cinnamon. I also use whole slices of bread and I spread the cream cheese mix on top of each slice as a previous reviewer said. I use the Cinnibon bread and golden raisins, it's amazing

I've never tried to make anything like this and have to say it was worth it! I used sunmaide cinnamon raisin bread. I spread each slice with cream cheese before cutting it into 9 sections and actually had trouble using all of the cream cheese. I only had 6 eggs and 2c of cream but it was just perfect. It puffs up quite a bit when it bakes but then sinks down again. I baked it uncovered for an hour. It definitely is better served with lots of syrup. Next time I will try adding some chopped nuts. Very delicious breakfast bake!

I made this for a breakfast at work. It was a HUGE hit. The only changes I made were I added another half pound loaf of the bread and substituted 1 cup of whole milk. I also found it needed to bake longer than indicated, so give your self some wiggle time.
