SweeTango Apple and Cinnamon Strata
A strata is like a baked version of French toast, but almost better because you can make it the night before. We found this version is also delicious when you bake it right away – in case you didn’t plan ahead! SweeTango apples perfectly pair with the cinnamon and raisins.
