I love breakfast and I love easy breakfast meals on some days. French toast is one of all time favorites, especially the french toast out in Vegas. But sometimes I know time won’t have time to stand there and flip french toast. So I will make an overnight french toast casserole. This apple overnight french toast casserole is one of my favorites. I love how the apples add a little bit of sweetness, plus a little texture to go with the casserole. It is so good together.

Let’s talk about how to make this. First I love to use brown sugar bread. My favorite is from Martin’s, but there are other brands out there. You can also use a cinnamon or raisin one. Those are really good too. I cube or rip the bread into pieces and place in a greased 9″x13″ dish. I mix the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Pour this mixture over the bread. Covered the dish and place in the refrigerator. I like to make the topping at the same time and place in the fridge too.

This is one of my favorite meals to make for when we have overnight guests or I will make it on Sunday and the can eat it for breakfast. All I do is put it in the microwave for a few minutes to warm it up. Grab the recipes and make it for breakfast. Trust me everyone will love it.

I like to make the topping the same time as the casserole. That way everything is made and I when I go to make it, it already to go.
