Step 1

Chop apples in small 1/4 inch pieces. In a large mixing bowl add cream cheese, sugar an cinnamon. Beat together. Fold in apples until mixed in.

Step 2

Slice the croissants down the center, making sure not to pierce through. You want to make a "pocket." Add about two tablespoons of the cream cheese filling.

Step 3

Butter a 12x8 baking dish. Arrange the croissants facing up.

Step 4

Whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the custard over the croissants. Set aside.

Step 6

In a bowl add flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and butter. Cut the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your hands. It will resemble coarse crumbs. You can also use a hand mixture to blend together.

Step 7

Sprinkle the oat crumble over the croissants. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.

Step 8

When you are ready to bake, let the french toast sit out for 30 minutes before baking!

Step 9

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 10

With the foil still covering the casserole, place in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10- 15 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serve immediately.
