How to Make Cinnamon Apple French Toast Casserole
Here are the ingredients you need to make this Cinnamon Apple French Toast Casserole recipe, plus step by step instructions for how to make it.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf country white bread, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 21 oz can apple pie filling
Step by Step Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
2. Cut the bread into roughly 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Gently toss or press the bread down so the pieces are coated and have a chance to soak up the mixture.
5. Spoon the apple pie filling over the bread, spreading it across the casserole so you get some in every serving.
6. Bake uncovered for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Note
Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats, then bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
Warm, comforting, and filled with cinnamon apple flavor, this French toast casserole is an easy way to make breakfast feel a little more special. Serve it warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or your favorite breakfast sides for a cozy meal everyone can enjoy.
