Apple Cinnamon French Toast Recipe

Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredient List:

5 tablespoons butter
3 large baking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
French bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices

Kitchen Equipment Needed

Large heavy skillet
9" x 13" glass baking dish
medium-sized mixing bowl

Instructions:

Step 1: In a large heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2: Add the sliced apples and cook until tender.

Step 3: Add the brown sugar, corn syrup and cinnamon. Cook and stir frequently until the brown sugar is dissolved.

Step 4: Using a 9" x 13" glass baking dish, spray with a non-stick cooking spray and spread the apple mixture evenly.

Step 5: Arrange your bread slices in a single layer on top of the apples.

Step 6: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla until combined.

Step 7: Pour this mixture over the bread slices. Cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.

Step 8: When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 30-35 minutes until the mixture is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9: Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Invert on a serving platter so the apple layer is on the top, just like a pineapple upside down cake. Serve this French toast recipe warm.

Serves 9-12.
