Ingredients

3 medium apples peeled and sliced
¾ cup brown sugar
4 Tbsp butter
½ tsp vanilla divided
1 tsp ground cinnamon divided
6-8 slices white bread
2 eggs lightly beaten
½ cup milk
⅓ 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 the brown sugar dissolves and the butter melts. Mix in 1/4 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Reduce heat to a 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 the flour and whisk until smooth. Dip one slice of bread in the mixture and coat both sides. Lift the bread out of the liquid and allow it to drip off the excess.
Cook French toast on a buttered griddle over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Then top generously with the apple-cinnamon mixture, along with whipped cream if desired. Serves 3-4.
