A simple overnight breakfast bake for a crowd
Apple French Toast is a perfect sweet start to weekend or for a brunch crowd. The scent of apples and cinnamon wafting through the house will get everyone out of bed. Fry up some bacon, brew the coffee, warm the milk for hot cocoa and the whole crowd will be lined up in the kitchen saying, ‘Something smells really good!’
This one got 2 thumbs up from the whole dining room on Sparkle Weekend. Give it a try at your house.
