Baked Apple French Toast - Eggy Bread #1

This week will be about 2 french toasts and 1 bread pudding.

So, anyone of you with a loaf of sandwich bread but don't know what to do with it, maybe you can try out this week's recipes to clear stock.

I made this for lunch with my girls. Lydia and I  walloped this up. Lyanne as usual, just gave a sniff and walked away. She doesn't eat bakes with fruit pieces, except fresh fruit pieces in cream filled cakes.

I used to hate cinnamon, but now am madly in love with it.
