Apple French Toast Strata

This was very good, and easy to make. Everyone at work loved it when I brought it to our potluck. I would suggest soaking the top layer of bread cubes in the egg mixture before putting them on top of the other layers, otherwise it's hard to get all of them covered. I might cut down a little on the cream cheese, too. It was a little rich. Otherwise, it was wonderful!
