I decided to try this take on an old favorite and twist it up with a fall favorite to celebrate the slightly lowering temperatures. The result was better than I could have hoped. Perfect for breakfast on a cool autumn day.

    To remove bread from pan, invert pan on your serving plate. Leave the pan in place for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pan and spoon any apples remaining in the bottom of the pan onto the top of the bread to get every last drop of apple goodness. Drizzle with glaze while still warm.

    To make the Glaze: Mix all ingredients together. Start with 1 tbsp. of half-and-half and add more if glaze is still a little thick. You want it to be thick enough to slowly drizzle off of a spoon.
