French toast with apples recipe

4 ratings

French toast is a lovely dish, often served for breakfast but just as well-placed as dessert. Our fantastic version uses a thick slice of white sandwich loaf, soaked with a sweet and lightly cinnamon-spiced egg mix then fried until golden, topped with stewed apples and a dusting of icing sugar.

Method

French toast is a lovely dish, often served for breakfast but just as well-placed as dessert. Our fantastic version uses a thick slice of white sandwich loaf, soaked with a sweet and lightly cinnamon-spiced egg mix then fried until golden, topped with stewed apples and a dusting of icing sugar.

  1. Whisk together the eggs, milk and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Pour into a shallow dish, then dip each piece of bread in the mixture, making sure to soak both sides.
  2. Heat half the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the bread in batches until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and place on a plate, covering with foil to keep warm.
  3. Heat the remaining butter in the pan and saute the apples for 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally. Arrange the toast on serving plates and top each slice with 3 slices of apples. Dust generously with the icing sugar. Serve immediately.
