Your breakfast might never be the same again – not after you try this! I have to admit, this was a complete experiment but it turned out SO good. I couldn’t wait to share it here.
I’ve wanted to come up with a fun, new breakfast option for us for awhile, so this was a fun tackle. And probably the most tasty one yet!
Cinnamon-Apple Stuffed French Toast
- 1/4 c. butter
- 2 apples, peeled and cubed
- 2 T. brown sugar
- 2 t. cinnamon
- 4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 12 slices thick, hearty bread (I used a whole wheat sandwich-cut bread. The bread needs to be hearty enough to stand up to the filling.)
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 c. milk
- 1 T. vanilla
- 1/4 t. cinnamon
- Extra butter for the skillet
1. Melt 1/4 c. butter in a small skillet. Add apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook 5-8 minutes until apples start getting tender.
2. In a bowl, add cream cheese and apple mixture. Stir until well combined. (This can be made the night before and kept refrigerated.)
3. Add about 2 T. filling to the center of one piece of bread. Spread out a little but don’t go all the way to the edges. Top with another slice of bread to make a sandwich. Repeat with all.
4. Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture as you would for regular French toast. Cook in a hot, greased skillet, 3-4 minutes per side.

Wow, this looks amazing! Bookmarked! So glad I found it while stumbling!!
Yummy idea for french toast.
Thank you!
Great idea! They look incredibly delicious!
I was delighted when I found your recipe because I had already been doing something similar having had a stuffed french toast years ago at a B&B, but it was peaches and Pecans with cream cheese. For my apple cinnamon I use French or Italian bread slices, which was what they had used at the B&B….it is wonderful…and I use Granny Smith apples..the tart is great to off set the sweet of the maple syrup!
Now this is one french toast I have to try. Thanks for this great recipe.
