Overnight Apple French Toast Recipe (1)

You’ll love being able to make this overnight apple French Toast the night before making your morning less stressful.

I have come to love having a hot breakfast in the morning, especially in the fall and winter months.

It starts cooling down in September in Utah and all the beautiful fall leaves start changing. It is a fall wonderland!

This Overnight Apple French Toast Casserole is the perfect fall, winter or weekend breakfast. You can make it the night before then toss it in the oven in the morning and have the most amazing breakfast.

This French toast casserole has a caramel apple topping, so you don’t even have to worry about using syrup. We like to top it with a dollop of whipped cream, but however you serve it, it is bound to be a hit.

How to Make Overnight Apple French Toast Casserole:

If you are making this Overnight Apple French Toast Casserole for dinner or another event, be sure to give yourself adequate time.

This French toast is best after it has had around 8 hours to soak up the egg mixture, so leaving it in the fridge overnight is ideal.

I have tried to make it and cook it directly after assembling it and it didn’t turn out as well because all of the egg mixture hadn’t been absorbed into the bread.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add in diced apples. You can peel your apples if you prefer, but it tastes great either way.
