Excellent

I used sprouted grain bread. It was very good, but I am guessing it made it a little less fluffy. I thought it was excellent, but I don't have a comparison.

Pros: Reasonably healthy and very filling. I love that you can make it ahead.

Tastes great; looks okay

Tried this recipe for the first time this weekend. As has been suggested in several comments, I mixed the cinnamon and nutmeg with the egg mixture rather than with the bread mixture -- this made intuitive sense to me for better dispersal and it turned out just fine. I also took the liberty of sprinkling a bit of extra cinnamon on top prior to baking.

First off, the taste was wonderful. With the apples and raisins there is really no need for any additional flavoring of syrup, whipped cream, etc. The only negative is that with the whole-wheat bread, the coloring of the dish turns out a little drab/gray (refer to the photo accompanying the recipe itself and you can see this --sorry, I didn't think to take a picture of mine). This doesn't impact the flavor, but it keeps me from giving the recipe five stars. I'm not sure what alterations one could make to address this (admittedly fairly minor) issue, but perhaps someone has some ideas.

Pros: flavorful,no topping necessary

Awesome for birthday brunch

Everyone love it! I could not find dried apples so I used 11/2 cups fresh blueberries, in place of apples and raisins added nutmeg along with the cinnamon to the egg/milk mixture. Everyone wanted the recipe. Thanks for this great
