Frequently Asked Questions About Apple Cinnamon French Toast
I’ve gotten so many great questions about this apple cinnamon French toast over the years—here are the ones that pop up most often with my tried-and-true answers:
Can I make apple cinnamon French toast ahead?
Yes—but with a twist! Prep the egg mixture the night before (store covered in the fridge) and slice your apples. Come morning, just dip and cook—the flavors actually deepen overnight. For fully cooked toast, it’s best fresh, but you can keep it warm in a 200°F oven for up to 20 minutes.
What’s the absolute best bread to use?
Hands down, slightly stale brioche or challah. Their rich, eggy texture soaks up custard like a dream without disintegrating. Texas toast works in a pinch, and for a healthier spin, whole grain sourdough adds nice chew. Just avoid super-soft sandwich bread—it turns mushy.
How do I keep my French toast crispy?
Two secrets: 1) Cook at medium heat (not high!) so the centers cook before the outsides burn, and 2) Serve immediately on warm plates. If you must hold it, place cooked slices on a wire rack—never stacked—in a low oven. That steam is the enemy of crispiness!
Can I freeze leftovers?
You bet! Cool completely, then freeze slices flat on a baking sheet before transferring to freezer bags. They’ll keep for 1 month. Reheat straight from frozen in a toaster or 350°F oven for 10 minutes. The apples don’t freeze as well though—I’d make those fresh.
Why did my toast turn out soggy?
Usually means either the bread was too fresh (stale is better!), you over-soaked it (3-4 seconds per side max), or the pan wasn’t hot enough. Next time, try drying your bread slices in a 250°F oven for 10 minutes before dipping—game changer!
Notes: Apple Cinnamon French Toast Recipe
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
- Use thick bread like brioche for best results.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar to taste.
