What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

ingredients
3 large green apples
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup or more brown sugar
12 ounces cream cheese
12 slices firm bread
8 eggs
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
cinnamon
directions
Set rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
Core and cut the apples into thin wedges, leaving the skin on or you may remove skin. In a skillet, melt butter with brown sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Add the apples and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and let cool.
Cut cream cheese into cubes and arrange evenly over the apples. Cut the slices of bread in half diagonally and layer over the apples to cover the whole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, taking care to dampen all the bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until golden and puffed. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I'd recommend using apple pie filling instead of the apples with butter sugar and water. I just didn't love it but I think it was the apples I used. Using pie filling would be a safer bet. The french toast part was really good. I'll try it again but with pie filling.

I made this for a Breakfast Birthday Party for my neighbor. It was easy and came out great! I now understand the layering/cuttting of the diaginal bread. I substitued Apple Pie Filling (eliminating the first 3 ingredients). I added the egg mixure to the bread with a ladle(less mess). I choose to cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnite before baking, allowing the egg mixture to absorb more into the bread.
is it 12 slices or bread or should it be 6? It only takes 6 to cover the whole dish??
It looks like it is 12 slices, but you are cutting them into triangles and layering (overlapping) to cover the entire dish.
