For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle a streusel topping of brown sugar, flour, and butter over the strata before baking. Feel free to experiment with different types of bread, such as challah or brioche. If you're short on time, you can bake the strata without refrigerating it first, but the texture will be slightly different. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Baking Dish: Generously coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Layer the Ingredients: Arrange half of the cubed raisin bread in the prepared dish, creating an even layer. Sprinkle the diced cream cheese evenly over the bread. Top with the diced apples, followed by the remaining raisin bread cubes. (15 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, melted butter, and maple syrup until well combined. Gently pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread, cream cheese, and apple layers. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Ensure Saturation: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap. Gently press down on the plastic wrap to ensure all the bread pieces are submerged in the custard. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. (2 hours minimum)
05 Step
Recipe View Preheat the Oven: When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Bake the Strata: Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the strata is golden brown and set. A knife inserted into the center should come out relatively clean. (45 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Rest and Serve: Remove the strata from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the strata to set further and makes it easier to slice. Serve warm, drizzled generously with extra maple syrup. (10 minutes)
