- 1/4 cup butter
- 2/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 medium granny smith apples, peeled and diced
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Instructions
- Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, eggs, egg whites, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Pour egg mixture over the bread, making sure to soak each cube. If there are some dry pieces, simply press them down a bit to soak up some of the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight!
- Once ready to bake, place small saucepan over low heat and add brown sugar, butter and maple syrup; whisk occasionally until butter is melted and combined with sugar. Add salt and diced apples to caramel and stir to combine. Drizzle apple caramel mixture all over bread cubes.
