A delightful way to start the day or to treat yourself during a cozy brunch with friends. These French toast fingers combine the sweet essence of golden apples with the fragrant spice of cinnamon.
Ingredients
Scale:
8 slices thick bread (like brioche or challah)
2 medium golden apples, peeled and diced
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
Maple syrup (for serving, as desired)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the diced golden apples to the egg mixture and stir gently to coat them evenly.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the bottom of the skillet.
Dip each slice of thick bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side to absorb the custard.
Carefully place the soaked bread slices into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Add more butter as needed.
Once cooked, remove the French toast fingers from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting them into strips.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and extra cinnamon, if desired.
