How to Make Apple French Toast

 

First, you’re going to make a syrup by cooking the brown sugar, butter, and syrup. Pour the syrup into a baking dish, and sprinkle the apples on top of it.

 

Next, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla and pour over your slices of bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight so that all of that flavor and goodness and start to soak in.

 

 

The next morning, bake the french toast uncovered at 350 degrees for 40 minutes – the slices will begin to take on a beautiful golden shade and the apples will become nice and soft.

 

Serve warm with a drizzle of syrup! Look how fancy we are!  You’re going to love it.
