Cutting board for apples
Apple peeler and slicer
Bowl and whisk
Frying pans (2)
- 6 pieces bread of choice
- 4 apples peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 splash milk or milk substitute of choice
- 2 tbsp butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Apple cinnamon compote
In a separate pan (or small pot), over low-medium heat, sauté the sliced apples with the 1/2 of the one teaspoon of cinnamon in a tablespoon of butter or butter substitute.
Once the apples begin to cook down, add the maple syrup and reduce to low heat. This will make the apple topping.
Let it simmer while you get started on the French toast!
French toast
In a bowl, combine the eggs with milk/milk substitute, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (leave the other half) and the vanilla.
Submerge one to two pieces of bread at a time in the egg mixture so that each side is completely coated.
Heat one tablespoon of butter or butter sub in a large pan over medium heat for a few minutes, then start cooking the bread on each side until it’s golden brown. It should take two to three minutes on each side.
Repeat the process until you have cooked off all the French toast.
Plate it and top with your apple cinnamon compote, and enjoy!
