Angela Latimer, a Minnesota-based cookbook author and the recipe developer behind BakeitWithLove. com, shared this recipe with Fox News Digital. She recommends using a rich, eggy bread like brioche or challah to make this dish extra special.

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf of large cubed french bread
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice
• 8 eggs
• 2 cups of half and half
• 3/4 cup of light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 can of apple pie filling
• 1 cup of old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of unsalted melted butter

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick baking or cooking spray.
2. Arrange the cubed French bread in an even layer in your baking dish, then top with cinnamon (or cinnamon and apple pie spice combo).
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs — then add the half & half, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until well combined, then pour over the layer of cubed bread.
4. 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.
5. 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).
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats, 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 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.
