1C. Brown Sugar
1tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/2C. Melted butter
1 Apple peeled and grated, or chopped.
1/2C. Raisins (optional)
6 Sliced bread cut into cubes
6-8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
6 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2C. Milk
1T. Vanilla
2tsp. Ground Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375. Grease 13x9 pan. In bowl mix together: brown sugar, 1tsp. Cinnamon, butter, apples and raisins. Spread on bottom of pan. Arrange bread over apple mix.
Mix together: Eggs, milk, vanilla and remaining Cinnamon. Pour over bread. Make sure all slices are soaked through. Sprinkle bacon over top.
Cook for 45-50 min.

Another option is to add small cubes of cream cheese and place that over apple spread before you add the bread.
You can also make this the night before. Just cover with foil and place it in the fridge overnight. Cook for 40 min. covered, and then take the foil off for the last 5-10 minutes.
