You’re moving slow and cuddled up warm under the blankets. 

However, your stomach is growling which means eventually you are going to get out of bed. 

And when you do stumble out of bed, it’s time to get the day started with a delicious casserole on your plate. 

It’s a warm, freshly baked easy Overnight Apple Cinnamon French Toast Casserole. 

To start, add cubed French bread to a glass baking dish.

Add apple pie filling on top of the bread and smooth it out over the entire dish.

Then add more cubed French bread on top.

In a mixing bowl, whisk nine eggs, half-and-half and cinnamon. (Here’s a super trick on how to make cinnamon powder at home.)

Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the baking dish. 

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and chill overnight. 

Remove the foil and bake for about an hour. Let cool.
