Strata, a layered breakfast casserole dish can consist of bread, eggs and layers of sweet or savoury ingredients. In this recipe, I layered the casserole with gluten-free bread, apples, spices and pecans. This stunning dish tastes like a buttery French toast with layers of delicious cinnamon apples baked in a light custard and topped with candied pecans. Doesn’t this sound amazing? This simple to make dish is lovely for breakfast, brunch, or a late afternoon snack. What I love about this recipe most, is it takes only minutes to prepare, and then all you have to do is pop it in the oven, done. I made this recipe for 4, but If you are feeding a crowd, double the recipe, use a 10-inch cast iron skillet and allow about 5 – 8 more minutes of cooking time. Serve with maple syrup, berries or yogurt or all three. YUM! I promise you this gluten-free French toast apple strata is a keeper! Dairy-free option included
