Start by cubing some seeded bread.

Prepare the filling by placing 1 cup of ricotta cheese in a food processor.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the ricotta cheese and blend.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest and 1 egg to the mixture and blend until fully incorporated.

In a bowl, crack 2 eggs and add some milk, amaretto, vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Whisk together.

Lightly spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Layer some of the cubed bread in the bottom of the casserole dish.

Pour some of the egg mixture over the bread cubes.

Spread the ricotta cheese filling over the bread cubes.

Add a layer of caramelized onions and caramelized apples on top of the ricotta filling.

Top with more cubed bread and pour additional egg mixture over the top.

Cover the casserole with Saran wrap or film, pressing down slightly, and refrigerate overnight or for a few hours.

Prepare a crisp topping with cinnamon sugar, flour, butter, and nuts, and sprinkle it on top before baking.

Bake the casserole in the oven at 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and plate the casserole with caramel sauce, freshly caramelized apples, and bacon.
