Healthy Baked Apple French Toast
This baked apple French toast is an easy, healthy apple recipe featuring the perfect balance of sweet cinnamon, juicy apples, and low-calorie bread, making it both nutritious and delicious.
Ingredients
- 6 slices low-calorie bread (e.g., Schmidt Old Tyme 647)
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup almond milk (plus 1 tablespoon for drizzle)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 medium apple (Honeycrisp or Gala), peeled, cored, and diced
- 3/4 teaspoon powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly spray ramekins or a square baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cut the bread into small cubes and peel, core, and dice the apple into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, 3/4 cup almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined.
- Add the cubed bread to the bowl and gently toss to ensure each piece is thoroughly soaked in the custard mixture. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes.
- Gently fold in the diced apples, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared ramekins or baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Bake for 35 minutes if using ramekins, or 45 minutes in a larger baking dish, until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of almond milk to create a simple glaze. Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of the glaze over each serving before serving.
