Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 tbs butter
  • 2 apples of your choice I used granny smith and fuji cuz it's what I had laying around, peeled and cored
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp all spice
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • dash of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 tbs brown sugar
  • 1/4 chopped pecans
  • 1 - 2 tbs bourbon

For the toast:

  • 1 loaf brioche or challah bread
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 1-2 tbs ground cinnamon I like to add fresh for each dipping
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbs unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Slice the bread into thick portions, remember you will be stuffing these, so 2 - 2 1/2 inches isn't crazy. Lay it on a wire rack for an hour or so.

Make the filling.

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and coat the pan. 
  • Saute the apples with the cinnamon, all spice, cloves, and nutmeg for 30 seconds. 
  • Add the brown sugar, pecans, and bourbon and cook down about 7-10 minutes until the apples are tender. Cover to keep warm and set aside.

Make the French Toast

  • Preheat your griddle or skillet to medium-high. Lay a wire rack on a baking pan and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla until small bubbles appear. Stir in the cinnamon. 
  • Lay the bread slices in and let them soak for 15 seconds before flipping and soaking the other side.
  • Coat the griddle with butter, sliding it around as it melts.
  • Place bread on griddle with the side you soaked first down on the heat. Cook until golden brown, flip and cook the other side until golden. 
  • Remove French toast from griddle, spoon in apple filling and place on wire rack in oven to keep warm while you prepare the rest.
  • Serve and enjoy.
