I love French toast. Can I say it again? I mean, I really love French toast! The thick bread covered in a rich custard, over-flowing with cinnamon flavor and cooked until crisp in butter. I mean, what is not to love? This time of year, I also love apples. So what better to top delicious French toast with than syrupy cooked apples? Nothing! This recipe is perfect for Christmas morning.
Ingredients
- FOR THE APPLES:
- 1 Large Granny Smith Apple, Peeled And Cored
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Light Brown Sugar
- ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- FOR THE FRENCH TOAST:
- 4 Eggs
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
- 3 Tablespoons Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, For Cooking
- 4 slices Thick Sourdough Bread
Preparation
For the apples:
1. Cut the apple into slices approximately 1/4 inch thick.
2. Combine all of the apple ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
For the French toast:
1. Combine eggs, sugar, cinnamon and milk in a shallow dish.
2. Place the sliced bread into the custard mixture allowing each slice to soak for 1-2 minutes per side. While the bread is soaking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
3. Place 2 pieces of bread in the skillet at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Allow to cook 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden. If the bread is cooking too fast, reduce the heat. You want to make sure the bread cooks throughout because of the absorbed custard mixture. When done, remove the toast from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread. You might want to add additional butter to the pan to cook the remaining pieces.
4. Serve hot covered in the cooked apples. Make sure to drizzle the extra cinnamon-apple syrup over the toast. No point in wasting something so delicious!
