Amazing Apple Pie Granola Recipe

By 2 Comments

When September hits, immediately I crave apple pie, I love a good apple pie, especially one with ice cream…YUM.  While I know it’s not September…you need to know that I just couldn’t wait for something “apple”.  So, I had to make my apple pie granola.  I just love this recipe…and I love granola.  I can eat granola with some milk in the morning or some yogurt in the afternoon, as a snack and sometimes I eat granola as a little snack late at night.

You will find this granola recipe is very different then your traditional recipes as this one tastes like an apple pie.  It even starts out with apple juice that you concentrate, I’m not saying that this is a super healthy recipe, but it doesn’t use as much oil as some that I have made before.  I made this apple pie granola recipe yesterday and Kelsi came home and nibbled on some of it…she was so cute as she’s like “mom it feels like Christmas with this granola”, I think it’s all that cinnamon!

Traditionally I tend to use cranberries and blueberries, in this recipe I use dehydrated apples that I chop, it adds great texture.

So, I mixed my nuts with the seasonings

I took my whole dehydrated apple

Baked French Toast with a Crumb Topping….Amazing

By Leave a Comment

So the story goes that my sister and niece were coming over and staying the night and I really wanted to make a “wow” breakfast for them so I asked my sister if she would like a baked french toast and she said yes…so, my search began for an amazing french toast recipe.  I looked through all my existing recipes,  I searched the web for french toast recipes but nothing was popping out at me…until I found a french toast recipe that had a crumb topping on it.  I don’t know if you would agree but I find baked french toast can be very bland and so with the crumb topping I thought it might add a little pizzazz.

This french toast recipe is super easy, I basically bought a loaf of bread (croissants would work lovely as well) and had my daughter tear it up into pieces for me

broken bread

Since I had time and I was able to plan for it, I had my daughter tear the bread in the morning and I left it in the pan all day to dry out, french toast originated because in the olden days (omg..do I sound like my mom now), they didn’t want the bread to go to waste so they created a way to use up day old bread.  If you do not have time to make your bread stale, it’s ok this french toast recipe will still turn out great.  I then made the crumb topping and put it in the refrigerator.

So, here is how easy this recipe really is, before you go to bed you mix the egg and creams together…you pour that mixture over your bread and you cover it until morning.

In the morning you preheat your oven, sprinkle on your crumble

Crumb topping

and then you bake it for 50-60 minutes.  Out of all the baked french toast recipes I have ever tried, this by far is the best one I’ve ever made!!!

we even made them into “muffins” for work and everyone loved them!

Baked French Toast with a Crumb Topping…simply AMAZING!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Vanilla
    • Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 stick Butter, cold and cubed

Directions

  1. Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan.
  2. In the early morning, if you have time, tear your bread into pieces and place them in the greased baking pan. If you can not allow your bread to get stale, then just tear your pieces and continue to the next step.
  3. Just before you go to bed, mix your eggs, milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread. Cover with saran wrap and place in your refrigerate overnight.
  4. In another bowl, put your flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and butter and using a pastry knife cut into the mix until it looks like small pebbles. Place in a bowl, cover with saran wrap until, place it in your refrigerator until morning.
  5. In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  6. Remove your pan with the bread and mixture on it and sprinkle the crumb mixture on top. Bake for 50 minutes, if you like a more firmer french toast bake for an additional 10 minutes.
