  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 6 eggs
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Ground cinnamon
    • 6 slices bread
    • 2 tablespoons butter, plus more for serving
    • 3 apples, peeled and sliced
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Directions

  1. Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of ground cinnamon in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add the bread in a single layer, turning until all the egg is absorbed.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter, and add apples, stirring to coat until starting to caramelize. Add the water, cooking until water has evaporated and apples are tender, about 4 minutes.
  3. Pour in the maple syrup and a dash of ground cinnamon; simmer for a minute to combine.
  4. In a large, heated nonstick skillet, melt about 1 tablespoon butter and saute the soaked bread until golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes. Place French toast on a plate and top with apple-maple mixture, plus more butter if you'd like!
