Description

This Cinnamon Apple French Toast recipe combines thick-cut bread soaked in a spiced egg mixture, perfectly cooked on the stovetop, with warm, caramelized cinnamon apples for a comforting and indulgent breakfast treat. The sweet apples add a delicious autumnal twist, making this dish a delightful way to start your day.

Ingredients

French Toast Mixture

  • 6 slices thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)

Cinnamon Apples

  • 2 apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for apples)

For Serving

  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Soak the bread: Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side, ensuring the bread absorbs the flavorful mixture without becoming too soggy.
  3. Cook the French toast: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
  4. Caramelize the apples: While the French toast cooks, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the peeled, cored, and thinly sliced apples along with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the apples become tender and caramelized.
  5. Assemble and serve: Plate the cooked French toast slices, top generously with the warm cinnamon caramelized apples, drizzle with maple syrup, and dust with powdered sugar if desired for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for best results as it holds up better when soaked in the egg mixture.
  • Try adding chopped pecans or a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra indulgence and texture.
