Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Saturday morning. Saturday morning is often very special for our family. It’s the traditional big breakfast Sunday where we make a ton to eat, often a sweet treat like French Toast, Crepes Pancakes or Cinnamon Rolls. While the purpose of this is family bonding, it has become a family tradition. Additionally, it is a bonus to my husband and I because we can be a little bit neglectful about lunch in the hustle and bustle of a Saturday.

A fall recipe that is quite tasty and adorably cute is our Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe. You can shape your french toast into adorable apple shapes or leave the shape as a slice of bread – we bet a child will have fun prepping the toast if you go with a cute cookie cutter shape. The recipe is tasty and leftovers can be used on top of ice cream as a Saturday evening dessert. The recipe is a breakfast win and a dinner win!.. and like I said above, it is a lunch win. We are often not home Saturday mid-day and don’t have to spend as much on lunch because of full bellies!

There are only a few simple ingredients in our fall french toast recipe. This recipe yields 4 servings. Multiple as needed.

How to Make Fall French Toast

Have little hands help you shape your toast before cooking it. Save scraps of bread for more french toast! Cut them into strips. They will not be straight (my kids didn’t mind). Cook them as you did the apple shaped ones and freeze for another day! You can always use your toast whole.

Serving Size: 2 pieces
Servings: 4

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Ingredients:

8 slices whole wheat bread
3 eggs
¼ C milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
Apple shaped cookie cutter (we used one like this one)

Apple Shaped French Toast Directions:

Cut out apple shapes by pressing the cookie cutter into the center of the bread and gently push the bread out from the cookie cutter, making sure not to break the stem or leaf.
Add eggs, milk, and vanilla to a bowl and whisk until combined.
Melt butter over medium heat in a large pan.
Dip apple shapes into the egg mixture, coating both sides, and allow excess to drip off.
Place onto pan and cook for about 2-4 minutes, checking frequently, until golden brown.
Flip over and do the same.
