I mean c’mon how amazing does this Cinnamon Raisin & Apple French Toast Bake look?!?!? Layers of cinnamon raisin bread, egg custard and lightly sautéed cinnamon apples! Whats not to love about that? I absolutely love the creamy texture of the egg base along with the sweet al dente apples and the crunch of the perfectly golden top layer! This right here is absolutely perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch!
