Well, let me tell you, if you got some old bread sittin’ around and a hankerin’ for somethin’ sweet in the mornin’, this here apple stuffed French toast is gonna do ya just fine! We ain’t need no fancy kitchen gadgets, just some simple stuff you probably already got at home. You take your bread, apples, and a few other things, and I’ll show ya how to turn it into somethin’ delicious!
First things first, let’s talk about them apples. Now, you don’t want to use them wrinkly ones, but some fresh ones, nice and firm. Granny Smith apples work real good in this, but you can use whatever you got. Peel ‘em, core ‘em, and slice ‘em up real thin. Don’t make ‘em too thick, or they won’t cook right in the toast.
What you need:
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 4 slices of bread (don’t matter if it’s a little stale, that works better!)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk or cream – whatever you got, don’t make it too fussy
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract (if you got it, if not, it’ll still taste good!)
- Butter for frying
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar to top it off (optional, but I highly recommend!)
Now, you take them eggs and crack ‘em into a bowl. Beat ‘em real good. Then add the milk or cream, whichever you got on hand, and mix it all up. Don’t forget to toss in the cinnamon and vanilla. Give it a good stir until it’s all blended together. This’ll be the creamy part that makes your French toast all rich and tasty!
Next, you take your slices of bread and make a little sandwich out of ‘em. You’ll wanna put a nice pile of them apple slices right in the middle of two pieces of bread. You can layer ‘em however you like, but I always pile it high so each bite has a good chunk of apple in it.
Now, heat up your skillet or frying pan over medium heat, and melt a little butter in it. You don’t want too much, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. When the butter’s nice and melted, you take your apple-stuffed sandwich and dip it into that egg mixture. Let it soak for just a second, but not too long or it’ll get soggy. Then, gently place it into the pan.
Cook it up on each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and crispy. You wanna see that nice crisp on the outside, and when you cut into it, the apples inside should be soft and sweet. Flip it carefully, so you don’t spill them apples out!
Once it’s cooked all nice and pretty, take it off the pan and serve it right up! You can drizzle it with some maple syrup if you like it sweet, or sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. It’s good just like that, but if you really wanna make it fancy, you can add a little whipped cream or even some extra cinnamon on top.
Why you’ll love it: This here apple stuffed French toast is sweet but not too sweet, warm, and filled with them tender apples. It’s the perfect thing to start your day with. And best part? It’s easy, and you don’t need nothin’ fancy to make it! So next time you’re lookin’ for somethin’ warm and tasty, give this recipe a try – your taste buds will thank you!
Now, I reckon you could change things up a bit if you wanted to. Maybe add a handful of nuts, like walnuts or pecans, to give it a little crunch. Or throw in some berries if you’re feelin’ fancy. This is one of them recipes that you can make your own however you like.
So, there you go! A nice, hearty breakfast that’ll fill you up and make your day start right. Don’t be shy now, give it a try and let me know what you think! I guarantee it’ll be one of them dishes you’ll wanna make again and again.
