    Apple French Toast Casserole

    I normally make a full breakfast for my husband on the weekends: eggs, hash browns, bacon. The kids usually opt for cereal unless I break out the pancakes or something else sweeter, then they're all in.

    Recently I've been working on making more baked breakfast recipes because they are so easy to make and especially good for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas when you want to spend time with family instead of over the stove. This Baked Apple French Toast Casserole is one of my favorite new baked breakfast recipes.

    Making Overnight Apple French Toast Casserole

    If you'd like to make this an overnight casserole you can prepare the casserole the night before and wrap with foil or plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.

    When ready to prepare the french toast casserole, simply pop into a preheated oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
