Description
Apple Pie Spice French Toast combines the comforting flavors of apple pie with the indulgent goodness of French toast. A warm, spiced treat perfect for cozy mornings or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 tbsp apple pie spice
- 5 tbsp sugar (reserve 1 tbsp for topping)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, apple pie spice, sugar, vanilla extract, and light brown sugar until well combined.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
- Place the dipped bread on the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and set aside.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Apple Topping: For an extra apple-pie-inspired treat, sauté thinly sliced apples in butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar, then top the French toast with the caramelized apples.
- Crispy French Toast: Use thicker slices of bread or even day-old bread for a more substantial texture that crisps up beautifully on the outside.
- Vegan Option: Substitute eggs with a flax egg or other egg replacer, and use a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk to make the dish vegan.
- Storage: Leftover French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: To reheat, place the French toast in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through and crispy.
