- 2 apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation

- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
- Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, topped with additional caramel drizzle or nuts if desired.
Notes
Use any bread available, like croissants or whole grain. Prepare it the night before and bake in the morning. For a caramel variation, consider honey or maple syrup. Avoid over-baking.
