apple pie french toast breakfast casserole

apple pie french toast casserole

I love apple pie and my family loves french toast.  We canned a lot of apple pie filling, so I’m always looking at ways to make more than just an apple pie with it.  Apple pie french toast is a perfect fit for me and my family to make for breakfast (or dinner).

This is an overnight french toast recipe.  This allows the bread to absorb the mixture and become full of flavor.

Check out how you can make this french toast breakfast casserole.  We used our homemade apple pie filling, but you can mix it up and use your favorite pie filling: cherries, applies, blueberries and more!
