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.  I decided to call these 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.  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 a bread pudding recipe that I saw 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!

    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.

    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!

    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!
