Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 24-ounce package thick-sliced, dairy-free cinnamon bread (gluten-free, if needed), divided
- 1 21-ounce can apple pie fruit filing and topping (such as Lucky Leaf Premium brand)
- 9 large eggs
- 1 cup lite coconut milk*
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons dairy-free milk beverage (your choice of type)
Instructions
- Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- Cube the bread and spread half of them in the prepared baking dish. Top with the fruit filling, and then layer on the rest of the bread cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, and cinnamon. Pour evenly over bread.
- Cover and chill overnight.
- In the morning, preheat your oven to 325ºF.
- Uncover the casserole and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until cooked through. If it starts to brown too much, tent aluminum foil over casserole.
- Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon milk beverage, adding more as needed to make pourable glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the casserole just before serving.
Notes
*This is the type sold in cans or small aseptic packages - the light version of full-fat coconut milk - not coconut milk beverage in the large cartons.
