Description

A delightful breakfast combining cinnamon, sweetness of apples, and heartiness of French toast that brings comfort to your mornings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (like challah or brioche)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
  • Maple syrup for serving
  • Powdered sugar for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until fully combined.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt the butter, swirling it to cover the surface.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, soaking briefly on each side.
  4. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Toss the sliced apples in the skillet. Add brown sugar if desired, and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender.
  6. Stack the French toast on a plate, top with sautéed apples, and drizzle with maple syrup. Garnish with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, replace eggs with flaxseed mixture and use almond milk. Adjust ingredients to fit personal preferences.
