Spread ~1/3 of the apple pie filling on top. Repeat the process 2 more times, finishing by topping with the last 1/3 of bread cubes and apple pie filling. Pour the custard all over the bread, then gently press down. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar. Baker 350F for 35-40 mins on a baking sheet, until the top is golden and set, but still slightly wobbly. Remove from the oven. Rest for at least 10 min. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream & the juices from the apple pie filling. Enjoy!
