On the weekends, I love to relax and enjoy a calorie heaven brunch with friends. However, this past weekend I was pretty sick and planned to stay put cuddled up in the apartment. So, since I wasn't planning on fighting the cold weather to go to the store, I challenged myself to use up the ingredients I had laying around to come up with a delicious recipe. This meal was very simple and you can use almost any fruit you have lying around for the topping! So when you are feeling pretty lazy, whip this dish up in a flash and it will still impress!
Caramelized Apple French Toast
Ingredients:
4 Slices Bread
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp Milk
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp Butter
1/2 Cup Sliced Apples
2 Tbsp Apple Butter (Or Maple Syrup)
Directions:
1. Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla into a shallow bowl.
2. Spray stove top pan with cooking spray and set to med-low heat.
3. Fully coat pieces of bread in mixture and place them onto pan, flipping both sides until golden brown.
4. In the meantime, add 1 tbsp butter to another pan and heat up apples on med-low heat. Sprinkle them with a little cinnamon and sugar (heavy on the sugar). Cook them for about 5-7 minutes until they are fully caramelized. I also added in some apple butter for extra flavor.
5. Set the french toast slices on a plate and spread a good amount of apple butter on top. Place the caramelized apples on the top of the slices and finish the dish off with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar. I really wish I would have had some powdered sugar at the apartment because it would have been a perfect touch!
