Instructions

Cut your brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and spread into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
1 loaf brioche bread
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. Pour this over top of the bread evenly and gently toss. Set aside.
6 large eggs, 1 ¼ cup heavy whipping cream, ½ cup whole milk, ¼ cup maple syrup, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp cinnamon, pinch of salt
In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the apples, brown sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
¼ cup butter, 3 large Granny Smith apples, 2 tbsp light brown sugar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp cinnamon
Cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are softened and the syrup is thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon the apples evenly over the bread. Cover with foil and place in the fridge overnight.
Make the streusel topping by cutting the cold butter into the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt with a pastry cutter or fork, until you get pea-sized pieces of butter. Cover & place in the fridge overnight.
¼ cup butter, ¼ cup light brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup old-fashioned oats, 1 tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp salt
In the morning, preheat your oven to 350° F. Crumble the streusel evenly over the top of the casserole and place in the oven for about 45-55 minutes, or until the casserole is baked through in the middle and golden on top. Serve with maple syrup & whipped cream.

Notes

If you don't have time to make this before-hand, it can be assembled and baked right away, just know the texture will be a little different since the bread doesn't have time to soak up the custard.
