Well, let me tell ya, this here apple pie stuffed French toast is somethin’ else. You know, if ya love apple pie, and if ya love French toast, then puttin’ ’em together is like makin’ a dream come true. It’s a real treat for the tummy, that’s for sure. Now, I’m gonna tell ya how to make it, so don’t you go wanderin’ off now, keep yer ears open!
First thing, ya gotta get ya some good ol’ bread. It don’t matter if it’s white or whole wheat, but I reckon the thicker, the better. Don’t get anythin’ too thin, or it’ll just fall apart on ya. Cut it up into nice thick slices, maybe about an inch thick. Y’know, not too thin, but not too thick either. Ya gotta have that balance, like a nice ol’ pancake, not too floppy, not too hard.
Now, for the apple pie filling, well, I reckon that’s where the magic happens. You take some apples, Granny Smith or somethin’ tart works best. Peel ’em up, core ’em, and slice ’em up nice and thin. You don’t wanna be choppin’ ‘em all big and chunky, not for this. Then, throw ‘em in a pot with some sugar, cinnamon, and just a little bit of butter. Let ‘em cook on medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they get all soft and gooey. Make sure to stir ’em now and then so they don’t burn. That’s the secret, folks—keepin’ an eye on it!
Now, while that’s cookin’, we got the bread ready. Take ya some eggs, crack ‘em in a bowl, and add a little bit of milk to it. A dash of vanilla never hurts neither. You’re makin’ the batter for the French toast, ya see? Whisk it up good so it’s all nice and smooth. Now, take each slice of that bread, dip it in the egg batter, and let it soak up real good, but not too long, or it’ll get soggy and fall apart when ya try to cook it. Just a quick dunk, that’s all.
Next, heat up your skillet or a big ol’ frying pan with a little butter in it. When it’s nice and hot, put those slices of soaked bread on the pan and cook ‘em on both sides until they’re golden brown and crispy. You wanna hear that sizzle when it hits the pan, like the sound of bacon cookin’. Don’t rush it, give it time to get that crispy crunch on the outside, but still soft inside. Oh, it smells so good!
Once your bread’s all crispy and golden, it’s time to stuff it. Take a slice of that hot apple pie filling and spoon it right onto one of your French toast slices. Then, put another slice of French toast on top like a sandwich. Press it down gently so it holds together, but don’t go smashin’ it. You want it to stay nice and fluffy on the inside. Now, that’s lookin’ mighty fine!
Now, if you really wanna go all out, ya can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top or even drizzle some maple syrup over it. You know, just to make it even sweeter. Maybe even throw on a dollop of whipped cream if you’re feelin’ fancy, though I ain’t too sure about that. But, hey, it’s your treat, do what ya like!
And there ya have it! A real delicious apple pie stuffed French toast that’ll make yer mouth water just thinkin’ about it. It’s the perfect breakfast or brunch, or heck, even a dessert if you’re in the mood. All warm and sweet on the inside, with that crispy outside that’s just right. I tell ya, once ya try it, you won’t wanna stop makin’ it. So go on, give it a whirl, and enjoy every bite of this homemade goodness!
