This apple cinnamon french toast is one of those simple recipes you’d make on repeat because it uses basic ingredients you almost always have at home! The mixture is simply eggs, whole milk, cinnamon, and grated apple whisked together into an easy french toast batter!
I love using sourdough bread for this recipe because it holds up well while soaking and cooks beautifully golden on the outside while staying soft in the middle. The grated apple adds natural sweetness and moisture, making this an easy breakfast option without needing many extra ingredients.
I usually make a batch ahead of time, let the slices cool, then cut them into strips and freeze them for easy breakfasts throughout the week. They reheat so well and make busy mornings much simpler.
This recipe is especially great for toddlers because the texture stays soft, the apple adds natural sweetness, and the strips are easy for little hands to hold.
