Apple Cinnamon French Toast Bake is a delicious and easy breakfast recipe you can make the night before and have ready in the morning. You can simply bake this casserole in the morning and have ready in a jiffy. Serve with butter syrup, maple syrup or whipping cream. You can use fresh apples, fresh eggs and fresh milk or use all of these ingredients from your food storage. We LOVE Thrive Life food storage and their products make this recipe come together in only a few minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups white bread cubed
- 1 1/2 cup Thrive Life Apples
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 2/3 cup Thrive Life Powdered Milk
- 2/3 cup Thrive Life Egg Powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- Dash salt
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- Apple Cider Butter Syrup:
- 1 stick butter can use Thrive Butter that has been hydrated
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider or Martinelli's sparkling cider
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk or more as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the cubed bread into the dish.
- Top the bread with the Thrive Life apples.
- In a bowl, whisk together the water, powdered milk, powdered eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and brown sugar.
- Pour this mixture over the dried bread and apples.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the center seems firm and no longer soft.
- While the casserole is baking, in a medium sized sauce pan add the butter, brown sugar, apple cider and evaporated milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let the syrup cook until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is smooth. Thrive butter will work but you have to cook it on a much lower temperature. Real butter does work better in this recipe but you can use freeze dried in a pinch.
- Serve syrup over baked casserole.
