When apple pie meets French toast, well, that’s a good morning! This recipe cooks up in a single dish in the microwave, so it’s easy-peasy prep and an even easier cleanup—the formula for a perfect a.m. meal. 

It’s best to use day-old bread to maintain its sturdy texture, as a super-fresh slice will become ultra-soft when it absorbs the egg (albeit, it’ll still taste delicious).  The flavor truly does resemble yummy pie filling; Soft, sweet apples mingled with warm cinnamon and a touch of brown sugar… I mean what’s not to love?!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 apple, finely diced, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more to taste
  • 1 slice whole-grain bread, cut into small cubes*
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • Pinch Kosher salt
  • Optional toppings: Whipped cream, maple syrup
  • * Sturdier bread works best. If your bread is super soft, I suggest leaving a few slices out of the package overnight to firm up.

Instructions
 

  • Mix chopped apple with brown sugar and cinnamon in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and stir. Add the bread cubes and egg, then stir to combine everything in the bowl.
  • Add a pinch of kosher salt and a dash of extra ground cinnamon or apple pie spice, if desired. Place back in the microwave for 90 seconds or until the egg is cooked.
  • Garnish with an optional squirt of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup and dig in!
