This tasty breakfast is full of wonderful fall flavor. Apple cinnamon French toast is delicious batter style coating on the french toast. The mixure is a combination of eggs, milk, and flour. This is similar to my recipe for fluffy french toast.

The recipe makes enough for 6-8 slices of bread. The number will vary based on the size of the slices of bread you use. I used a loaf of french bread that I buy from my local Costco. The slices in this loaf are huge, so the batter was only enough batter to coat 5 slices.

Next, is a delicious cinnamon apple topping. Fresh apple slices cook in a mixture of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. It creates tender apple slices with a sweet cinnamony syrup. It gives you all those flavors of fall and is the perfect compliment to these slices of french toast.

Now, the picture doesn’t show this, but I also added whipped cream on top of my french toast right before I ate it. I highly recommend you do the same when you serve this apple cinnamon french toast. It adds a nice creamy cool texture to this.

Ingredients

Scale

3 medium apples, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup brown sugar
4 Tbsp butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla, divided
1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
6–8 slices white bread
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup flour
butter
optional: powdered sugar and whipped cream

Instructions

In a skillet, add apple slices, brown sugar, and butter. Cook over medium heat until brown sugar has dissolved and butter has melted. Mix in 1/4 tsp of the vanilla and 1/2 tsp of the cinnamon. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook 6-8 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly and thicken while you prepare the french toast.
In a large, wide bowl, add the eggs, vanilla, milk, and cinnamon. Whisk together. Stir in flour and whisk until smooth. Dip one slice of bread in the mixture, careful to coat both sides. Lift the bread out of the liquid and allow to drip off excess.
Cook toast in a griddle, coated with butter, over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Flip and cook other side 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Then generously top with apple-cinnamon mixture along with whipped cream if desired. Serves 3-4.
