When I was growing up, my family used to have a special Sunday morning routine. We’d all get up early, make breakfast together, and then spend the morning enjoying it together. I especially loved when my dad would make this comforting French toast. It was always such a treat!
This French toast is spiced with cinnamon and topped with sweet apple slices for a delicious combination of flavors. It’s the perfect way to start your day, or even as a special dessert. Plus, it’s so easy to make that even the kids can help out!
I’m so happy to share this recipe with you, and I hope it becomes a favorite in your family, just like it is in mine.
Tip 1: If you’re looking for a sweeter French toast, use a sweeter variety of bread like challah or brioche.
Tip 2: For a crunchier texture, dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and then press them into a plate of crushed cornflakes before cooking.
Tip 3: For a healthier version, use whole grain bread and substitute the melted butter with olive oil.
Variation 1: For a more refreshing flavor, replace the apples with fresh berries.
Variation 2: For a more indulgent version, top with a drizzle of maple syrup.
