  • 8 slices of thick bread e.g., brioche or challah
  • 2 apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Apple Mixture:
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sliced apples with brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until the apples are softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Make the Egg Mixture:

  7. Melt some butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the soaked bread in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Assemble and Serve:
  9. Serve the French toast hot with a scoop of the caramelized apples on top.
  10. Drizzle with maple syrup as desired.
