Baked Apple French Toast Casserole is an easy to make breakfast to feed the entire family. It’s the perfect recipe for holiday brunch or Christmas morning.
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.
