Baked apple French toast cups are easy to make and will impress any overnight guests that might be crashing at your house.
Is it sad that I can’t even remember what I had for breakfast on Thanksgiving when I was growing up? Don’t get me wrong, I had a perfect childhood. I remember lots of amazing Thanksgiving dinners. I just can’t remember Thanksgiving breakfast.
Give your family something to remember and maybe start a new tradition. Make these baked apple French toast cups to start the day.
Kids will love getting involved with the preparation. They can whisk the eggs and milk, dip the bread, and fit it into the muffin cups. They’ll enjoy arranging the apples in the bread-lined muffin cups. Less for you to do, and even fussy eaters are more inclined to eat food that they had a hand in preparing.
This kid friendly recipe will free you up to get started on your dinner recipes, like make ahead crockpot stuffing or this beautiful roasted cranberry sauce. My challenge to you is to begin a new tradition this Thanksgiving!

I don’t think we ever had a memorable breakfast on Thanksgiving Day. Usually it was a quick breakfast (probably oatmeal or cereal), getting the turkey in the oven, and whatever else we could do before going to church. We always said we were saving our appetites for the dinner to come!
