This apple breakfast casserole is a quick and easy way to make a gourmet breakfast for a group or your family. It’s perfect for a weekend family breakfast or a holiday brunch. This breakfast casserole is a family favorite and is really easy to make.

I love one dish breakfast recipes. Feeding breakfast to a group or even to your family is usually last on the list of meals to prepare, but it’s an essential meal none the less.

Sometimes what you take every morning can make it boring especially if you are the kind of person who takes “breakfast food” seriously.

Have you ever tried breakfast casseroles? This meal is very easy to make and makes a perfect morning dish. It is delicious and has an excellent sweet flavor. Traditional apple breakfast casseroles have cinnamon layers with apple layers between them. The cinnamon sugar flavor gives it a heavenly taste.

I love how the apple slices look on the top of the casserole so you know what’s inside. You could slip some in a second layer between the batter, but for this version I just put the apples on top.

This is a moist and fluffy breakfast casserole. The apple breakfast casserole uses yogurt to keep it super moist.

And the brown sugar give is a great flavor.

Not to mention the spices.

The recipe calls for ginger and I know that’s an ingredient that’s not always on hand, however I’d try to make this with the ginger. It’s such a unique flavor that it’s hard to replace.

While I haven’t made this recipe ahead of time, I think it would do well if you made it the night before and refrigerated it, then baked it in the morning. I love breakfast casseroles that I can make the night before to save time.

Try it and let me know what you think.
