Baked Apple and Cinnamon French Toast Cups


Oh my goodness.  I am still licking my fingers on this one.  Delicious.  Masterpiece.  That’s all I can say about this amazing treat.  Oh how I wish that I could take all the credit for this one.  It was inspired by Jenny at Picky Palate.  She made some bread pudding cups a while back.  I decided to call it French Toast Cups because it has all the ingredients I use in my french toast plus apples.  Yum.  My kids licked the plate clean.  And let me tell you, that does not happen very often unless it is made of all sugar.  Apples have been on my mind lately.  I have been racking my brain trying to come up with some creative recipes using them, and then I remembered Jenny’s Bread pudding recipe and I decided to do something similar but with my own spin.  The sauteed cinnamon apples were the perfect addition.  Of course topped with a sugar glaze, it is the perfect treat or breakfast or brunch or whatever you want to eat it for!  I hope you all have a lovely week and I will be back soon with some amazingly delicious recipes!

Baked Apple and Cinnamon French Toast Cups
recipe by Stephanie
inspired by Jenny
makes 6 french toast cups
4 slices whole wheat bread, cut into cubes
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
dash of ground nutmeg
For the apples:
1 large apple of your choice, cut into cubes
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1. In a medium skillet, saute apples with butter and cinnamon for about 5 minutes, or until soft. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined. Add bread cubes and mix together until all the bread is saturated.  Add the apples and mix until well distributed.
3. Using a regular size muffin tin, scoop bread evenly into 6 of the muffin cups.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until set and lightly golden brown.  
4. Mix 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth.  Drizzle on top of french toast cups.  Enjoy!!
These would be perfect for a bridal or baby shower!  Your guests will be begging for more!!!

    Ohhh I’m the first post? Well, Steph these look amazing. I’m sure they didn’t last long in your house–they wouldn’t here.
    I might try these out and maybe add some toasted pecans somewhere in there.

  8. PaniniKathy on August 26th, 2008 11:16 pm

    That’s so funny – as soon as I saw the main photo I thought to myself, “That looks like something Jenny would make!” Great idea to incorporate french toast!

  9. hot garlic on August 27th, 2008 5:43 am

    Oh, I could see how this would be a masterpiece. I love French toast ma’self so this sounds really good! I agree with Dawn, it’s screaming for nuts! -but not everyone likes them, maybe ya’ll aren’t nut eaters. This is seriously such a great idea!

    Hi there. I had to swing by to say hi to anyone who is also named Stephanie & loves to cook. These look delicious. I'll have to try them because I made Jenny's bread pudding bites & those were wonderful too. Happy Cooking!
