Waking up, no matter how late, can be such a drag. You’re snug under your blankets and moving slowly. But your stomach is growling, which means you are going to have to face the day.
When you do stumble out of bed, it’s nice to start your day with a delicious casserole on your plate – a warm, freshly baked Overnight Apple Cinnamon Fresh Toast Casserole.
Prepared the day before and chilled overnight, this casserole is ready to throw in the oven once you’re up. It’s gooey on the inside and baked to a perfect crisp on the outside, plus it’s filled with mouthwatering apples and ground cinnamon, not to mention a sweet glaze drizzled on top.
It’s perfect for any breakfast or brunch occasion and the little ones will enjoy the sweet crunch, as well. ❚
