Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick slices of brioche or challah bread
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Place the brioche slices in a shallow dish or tray. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring each slice is soaked evenly. Set aside to allow the bread to absorb the mixture, about 5 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the apple slices, brown sugar, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove the apple mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat slightly and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook the soaked slices of bread in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm.
To serve, place two slices of French toast on each plate. Spoon the warm toffee apple mixture over the top. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with additional maple syrup if desired.
Enjoy your delicious Toffee Apple French Toast!
