Apple French Toast with Cinnamon Sauce
Instructions:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 8 slices day-old French bread, cut thick (French toast is better made with dayold bread. It will soak up the egg more than fresh bread, and it will “puff up†more.)
- 3 tbsp. melted butter
- Sauce
- 2 tsp. butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 3 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- To prepare toast: whisk eggs with milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.
- Dip bread into mixture, coating both sides, allowing bread to soak up mixture.
- Place bread in single layer on baking sheets brushed with butter to prevent sticking.
- Bake for 12 minutes, turn bread over, bake another 12 minutes or until brown and puffy.

- Cook until melted.
