french toast apples
quick, easy, delicious breakfast | Β apple rings in french toast batter
Halloween is just a few days away, and you know what that means…
bye bye pumpkin and apple
hello all things gingerbread and peppermint
I don’t have anything against gingerbread and peppermint, but honestly I am not ready to say goodbye to apple and pumpkin just yet. It feels too soon; our fall weather just arrived and I’m loving every minute of it.
Over the weekend I picked up the most gorgeous Honey Crisp apples. Are they not the BEST. APPLES. EVER. I’m ll about the Granny Smith for pies, but for eating it’s Honey Crisp or nothing. I was all ready to enjoy my apple, but then I opened the door to let the dogs out. BRRR….our mornings have gotten pretty chilly. A hot breakfast was in order, but I also really wanted my apple.
Enter french toast apples.
Sliced apple rings coated in cinnamony (totally a word right) french toast batter, cooked until golden brown and deliciously sweet.
Ingredients
- 2 large apples - I used Honey Crisp, peeled, cored, and sliced in rings
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp cream
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- butter for griddle or skillet - if needed
Instructions
- heat your griddle or skillet over medium heat, brush with butter if needed
- whisk together the egg, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt
- dip apple slices in batter
- cook until bottom is golden brown and the egg is cooked - about 2 minutes, flip and cook other side another minute or two
- serve hot with syrup or powdered sugar

Apples, I’m not ready to quit you yet.

apple cinnamon french toast bake
this Reese’s Dip goes GREAT with apples
I totally agree with you. Apples and pumpkin through Thanksgiving. Maybe by then we will have some cooler weather and it will begin to feel “unsummer”! This sounds like a delicious breakfast or a dessert. Great idea.

thanks Linda – it seems that peppermint squeaks in earlier and earlier, and I am just not ready
Nooooo! I’ve got weeks of apples and pumpkin in me left. π I love this recipe!
me too Dorothy – thanks
Honey crisp apples. Yum. I can’t wait to make some french toast apples with them. What a perfect idea!
thanks Suzanne | hope you enjoy them as much as we did
We have a mound of honey crisp apples right now. They have been tasting exactly as their name suggests-just delicious! I think you are seriously a breakfast genius! I love this Heather! What a great use of apples! And I’m not quite ready for all things peppermint and gingerbread.
thanks Tanya – It feels like I need at least another month before I can even think about the holidays
This is amazing! Love the idea of french toast apples! So delicious.
thanks jess – they were pretty good
This is a brilliant idea. I’ve seen apple rings dipped in pancake batter but never french toast. I love it!
I’d LOVE to try them in pancake batter, that sounds delicious – thanks Christie
I’ve just barely started getting in the mood for pumpkin and apple. And I love these – naturally gluten free too!
thanks Brianne π same here, we had summer until bout a week ago
Wait, wait I’m not ready to say goodbye to apples and pumpkins! Oh please oh please let me hang onto them for the month of November! I’m having this for breakfast asap!
I am SO in need of at least another month of apples and pumpkins
These sound good. Do the apples get soft or do they stay a little bit crispy?
they do soften | but just a bit
I squealed when I spotted the honeycrisps in my store the other day! I don’t even like apples but those… they are so good! I’m totally making this for Saturday breakfast this week. My kids are going to love it!
thanks Amanda – I don’t really like apples either – unless they are grannies in pie – and of course the honey crisp
Wow, these are beautiful! Such a great idea, and your photography is stunning.
thank you so much Anetta – I really appreciate the compliment
Maybe it’s a Heather thing but I’m totally on-board to pumpkin and apples all year long. I’m totally pinning and making these. This totally solves my new gluten-free but still love french toast problem. I’m visiting you from Create.Link.Inspire.
maybe π hope you enjoy them as much as this Heather did
I’m not ready to say goodbye to pumpkin and apple just yet. I give it until Thanksgiving, then I say goodbye. π These look amazing! I have never tried Honey crisp apples. I know I am missing out. I need to head over to whole foods and get some today, so I can make these asap. Pinned!
you need to try the honey crisp for sure – they are the BEST
Oooooh YES, these sound amazing!!
thanks Julie π
French toast apples?! Sign me up!! These look so delish!!
thanks so much Meg | they were yummy
What an absolutely fun way to serve apples for breakfast!!! And usually I’m ready to move on to peppermint things right about now, but for some reason this year I’m still rocking the pumpkin and apple treats!
I feel the same way, I am really not ready for fall to be over and winter to start
What a splendid idea. I make fried apples which is a big hit in my family. But this idea is several steps ahead of mine. But then the baked apple French toast—-I don’t know that’s outstanding too. Well its
apple season and I have an apple tree in my back garden. So I guess I am all set!
how lucky for you π I’d love an apple tree
I totally agree with you, honey crisp apples are absolutely the best! And this look like such a fun way to enjoy them!
thy are SO good – even my non apple eater eats them
I want it to be the weekend so I can make these! I’ve done something similar with pineapple before but apples are perfect for fall π
I bet pineapple would be amazing!
Loving your new site design – so beautiful! Meanwhile these apples – LOVE it!
thanks so much Jessica
Those look amazing! I’m not ready to quit with the pumpkin and apples yet, it’s not quite Christmas season, even if there is snow outside my window as I type this! I love anything apples or french toast so combining them sounds fantastic!
snow, already…I may be just a little bit jealous, I miss the snow
Woah dude. These sound amazing! I want to have breakfast at your house! I welcome the cold if it means I get to eat FRENCH TOAST APPLES – yes, please.
thanks Sarah
It’s still apples and pumpkin!!! Peppermint better wait until after thanksgiving! These just look amazing and I want them for breakfast.
thanks Zainab – I wish but I have already started seeing peppermint and eggnog in my pinterest feed π

I could seriously enjoy a crisp fresh apple right now – I love honeycrisp, I also love envy!
what a fun breakfast, I will have to try this soon!
YES honey crisp all the way, I am definitely missing apple season
First off… gorgeous, gorgeous photos! They belong on a restaurant wall somewhere!! And these apples are something my daughter would LOVE for an after school treat. If… that is, I can last without eating them all myself. π
wow, thank you for those kind words. I may have needed to make an extra batch for the kids
This is such a fun idea! My kids adore French toast and I’d know they’d love this take on their favorite breakfast dish.
thanks so much! my kiddos really enjoyed it
This is genius!!!
thank you very much
This is ABSOLUTELY brilliant! I have never thought of battered apple slices – now my mind is spinning with ideas!
mind spinning is always a good thing π thanks
These looks so scrumptious! I have apples and eggs so this may be breakfast tomorrow!!
thanks so much Kristen
What an amazing little treat these lovelies will make! I adore this idea!

I bet these are delicious with ice cream on top too! Ice cream is totally acceptable for breakfast right? π
