CARAMEL APPLE FRENCH TOAST
Caramel Apple French Toast is a cosy, autumn-inspired breakfast featuring soft brioche, sautéed cinnamon apples, and a rich caramel drizzle. Perfect for weekend brunches or festive mornings with the family!
Ingredients
For the French Toast:
- 8 slices brioche or thick white bread
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
For the Caramel Apple Topping:
- 2 apples peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Apple Topping
- In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook until apples are soft and coated in sauce, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in caramel sauce. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the French Toast Batter
- Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a shallow bowl.
Step 3: Cook the French Toast
- Dip each bread slice in the egg mixture, coating both sides. Cook on a greased skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
- Place two slices of French toast on each plate, spoon the warm caramel apple topping over, and drizzle with extra caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for balance.
- Add chopped nuts or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Make it ahead: sauté apples and refrigerate, then warm and serve over fresh French toast.
