Apple-Stuffed French Toast |
A PEI holiday favourite, at Bonshaw Breezes B&B
The Caramel topping and apple flavour taste like a caramel apple!
Ingredients
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 cup chopped pecans
12 slices Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
2 large tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced
6 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

CARAMEL SAUCE:
|
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Method
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup; cook and
stir over medium heat until thickened. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x
2-in. baking dish; top with half of the pecans, a single layer of bread and
remaining pecans. Arrange apples and remaining bread over the top. In a
large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and nutmeg. Pour over
bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 30
minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until
lightly browned. In a small saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients. Cook
and stir over medium heat until thickened. Serve with French toast.
A rich, flavourful dish that I sometimes top with apple-vanilla yogurt!
