Ingredients:

• 1 loaf French bread, cut into cubes
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or cinnamon and apple pie spice combo)
• 10 large eggs
• 2.5 cups half & half
• 1 cup light brown sugar, divided in two halves
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• Confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)
• Whipped cream, maple syrup or caramel syrup for serving (optional)

Directions:

1. Grease or spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick baking or cooking spray. Arrange the cubed French bread in an even layer in your baking dish, then top with cinnamon (or cinnamon and apple pie spice combo).
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs — then add the half & half, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until well combined, then pour over the layer of cubed bread.
3. Use the flat side of a wooden spoon and press down on the soaking bread to make an even layer. Add the canned apple pie filling and spread evenly over the soaked bread.
4. At this point, you can set aside the baking dish, preheat the oven, and mix the streusel oatmeal topping, or cover and refrigerate the partially assembled casserole for 1 hour to soak in the liquid (up to overnight).
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you mix the last casserole layer.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats, remaining 1/2 cup light brown sugar, and all-purpose flour. Add the melted butter to the mixed dry ingredients and mix using a fork until the butter is well distributed and your topping has a crumbled texture.
7. Spread the topping over your breakfast casserole, then bake in the middle of your oven's center rack at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired, or serve with whipped cream and maple syrup or caramel syrup.
