Sunday’s are meant for delicious easy breakfasts. While I love pancakes it is quite a treat to change things up a little and French toast is the perfect sweet treat to do that with. It takes slightly less time to prepare than pancakes and the flavour is amazing.
Let’s get cooking…
Start by mixing together the ingredients for the spice mix and set aside.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and add in the apples with 1 teaspoon of the spice mix. Allow the apples to cook on a low heat for 30 minutes until they begin to colour and soften but not too soft that it turns into apple sauce.
In a flat dish combine the other ½ teaspoon of the spice mix with eggs and milk and whisk well. Then dip in the bread and allow to soak up a bit of the egg custard. Melt the remaining 2 teaspoons of butter in a heavy based pan. Place the bread slices into a pan and turn the heat to low. Allow the bread to cook on both sides until golden
Plate the toast and spoon the apples over the top. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of nuts over the toast and apples. If using, pour over maple syrup and enjoy
