Peel and chop apples into small cubes or slices, as you prefer.
Place chopped apples in a medium pot. Add ½ cup (100g) of sugar, ¼ cup (57g) of butter and ½ cup (118ml) of water. Cook it over the stove for 15 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent it from burning or sticking in the base. Remove it from heat once apples are soft and tossed with slightly thick caramel.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl (with enough space to wet the slices of bread). Add 2 tablespoons of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar and ½ tsp of cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, and soak both sides of them.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a tbsp of butter and melt it before cooking. Cook the french toasts on both sides until golden.
Serve the french toast when still hot with the caramelized apple on top.
Notes
This recipe is better when hot and freshly made, but if you have any leftover, keep it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two days. To reheat it, place it in the microwave for sixty seconds.To make nice and moist french toast, you need to choose a thick bread that can absorb the egg mixture without breaking apart, like sourdough or brioche bread. Pour some of the left caramel of the apples over the french toast or add some maple syrup or honey.I chose to make this Apple French Toast turn the traditional breakfast into a fall special. Add extra cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, or allspice into the egg mixture if desired!
