Apple Pie French Toast Sticks

Print Recipe

Breakfast just got even better! These French Toast Sticks are filled with a canned apple pie filling, rolled up, fried and coated in cinnamon sugar. This is one quick and easy breakfast your family will love!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 loaves of soft, white sandwich bread (I prefer to use my Pain de Mie bread)
  • 1 can (21-ounces) apple pie filling*
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (114g) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (for coating the pan)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow pan, like a pie pan, combine the ingredients for the cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside.
  2. Stack several slices of bread at a time and trim off the crusts on all four sides. This recipe makes about 20-22 french toast sticks. 
  3. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread.
  4. Spoon 1-2 spoonfuls of pie filling along the bottom edge of each flattened slice. Carefully roll it up, keeping the filling inside (the filling can spill out of the ends if there’s too much inside). 
  5. In a shallow pan like a pie plate, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla. Set aside.
  6. Place a large frying pan on the stovetop and heat to a medium-low to medium heat. Melt 1 Tablespoon of butter, coating the bottom of the pan. 
  7. Dip each of the roll ups in the egg mixture and place seam side down in the pan. Brown and turn all four sides of the rollup (Tip: Use the back of your tongs to gently flatten each side as it cooks, creating four flat sides to the french toast sticks.)
  8. Once each side is golden and toasted, toss the hot french toast sticks with the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat completely.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use any pie filling you like! Our favorite besides apple pie is cherry pie filling!
