See.. I'm the biggest fan of apple desserts. Apple pie, apple streusel, apple crisp, apple cobbler- you name it! But having a caramelized, cinnamon-y, and easy to make apple breakfast personally beats them all. Warm, sweet apples, and a hint of cinnamon really elevated French toast to the next level- creating the breakfast of your dreams. Did I mention it's incredibly easy to make? 15 minutes is all you need to create a new crowd-pleasing brunch favorite. I also sprinkled some toasted walnuts on top of my toast but that is just for extra crunch- you can totally opt for just syrup and the apples.
Apple Cinnamon French Toast
Recipe details
Ingredients
French Toast
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 4 tbsp flour
- 8-10 slices of bread
Apple Topping
- 3 medium apples- peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/4 tbsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Apple Topping
- Add apple slices, brown sugar, and butter in a medium sauce pan.
- Cook over medium high heat until brown sugar has dissolved and butter has melted.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for an additional 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly to thicken while you prepare toast.
French Toast
- In a large, wide bowl whisk together eggs, vanilla, milk, and cinnamon. Stir in flour and whisk until smooth.
- Completely submerge one slice of bread in the mixture, careful to coat both sides. Lift the bread out of the liquid and allow to drip off excess.
- Cook toast in a large pan over medium heat 1-2 minutes until lightly browned, then flip and cook other side 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining bread slices. Generously top toasts with apple-cinnamon mixture. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

A co-worker shared a tip to keep the french toast from being too soggy. Lightly toast the bread in the toaster before hand! I was surprised it works! Get all that egg mixture into the bread without it falling apart before you get it into the pan. What a shocker...and you don't need to stale the bread overnight like I used to do.
