Ingredients for Apple Cinnamon French Toast

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons butter (plus 2 tablespoons for the sauce)
  • Cinnamon
  • Apple Juice
  • Bread
  • Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced)

How to Make Apple Cinnamon French Toast

  1. **Prepare the Batter:** In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. **Cook the French Toast:** Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. **Make the Apple Cinnamon Sauce:** While the French toast is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar and stir until dissolved.
  4. **Simmer the Apples:** Add 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced) to the saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. **Serve:** Serve the Apple Cinnamon French Toast immediately, topped with the warm apple cinnamon sauce. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
