Recipe
Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the butter on one side of each bread slice. Arrange the bread slices butter side up in a casserole dish; alternate with the apples and raisins. In a bowl beat eggs, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt. Pour over the bread mixture. Press the bread down into the milk mixture with a fork. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Serve warm with your favorite breakfast meat!
Note: To give this a nice shiny coating, brush the top with additional maple syrup after removing from oven.
