How to Make Cinnamon French Toast With Poached Apples

Gently poach the apples: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of water and the sliced apples. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until apples are tender but not mushy.
Prepare the apple glaze: In a separate small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Gradually whisk in 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
Thicken the glaze: Cook the cornstarch mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes clear (about 1-2 minutes).
Incorporate apples: Stir in the poached apples into the thickened glaze. Cook for 1 minute more, then remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the custard: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Cook the French toast: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Cook in a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Serve the French toast immediately, topped with the warm poached apples and their glaze. Enjoy!
