Overnight French Toast Casseroles are kind of my “thing” if you haven’t noticed this before. I have the amazing Overnight Pumpkin Cheesecake French Toast Casserole perfect for this time of year. Then you have the traditional Overnight French Toast Casserole for all you purists out there.
Today I’m introducing you to the newest member of the French Toast Casserole Family. Drum roll ladies and gents…. it’s the Overnight Caramel Apple French Toast Casserole and I promise you it won’t disappoint. It’s loaded with apple pie filling and topped with a delicious caramel sauce instead of syrup. How can you really go wrong with this combo?
The holidays are perfect to try this recipe out but honestly it’s good anytime you want to spoil yourself or your family. You see I love treating my family to a delicious breakfast over the holidays or weekends, but let’s great real. I’m not all about getting up in the morning and slaving over it then waiting for it to cook. It’s just not going to happen. It’d rather be enjoying my cup of coffee. That’s why I have an adoration for Overnight breakfasts like these French Toast Casseroles. I can whip them up the night before, pop them in the fridge, do a few finishing touches while my oven preheats in the morning then throw it in the oven and let it bake while I enjoy that cup of coffee with my name on it.
Sounds lovely doesn’t it? Plus it makes you look like a rockstar and trust me I’m all about making myself or you look like a rockstar in the eyes of family and friends.
If you are looking for a fabulous treat for your family for breakfast grab your can of Lucky Leaf Apple Pie Filling and get to work with this Overnight Caramel Apple French Toast. I promise that you will be receiving applause from everyone!

I made this recipe twice. The first time according to the directions and it turned out great! I made it again today only I wanted to make it gluten free and dairy free. I used close to 2 loaves of schar gf white bread because the loaves are very small, I used 2 cans of coconut milk (it was more than the amount of milk called for, but it’s thicker than milk and gf bread soaks up liquid more than regular bread) instead of milk and 1/2 can coconut cream for the icing. I wanted you to know that it turned out perfect!!! I took it to a brunch and everyone loved it!!! Thanks so much for this recipe!! It’s the best!
