Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce Additional for serving
For the French Toast
  • 1 loaf French bread (about 14-16 ounces) Challah or brioche is recommended for richer flavor
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk Almond or oat milk can be used as substitutes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Can be substituted with nutmeg for a warm variation
  • 2 tablespoon sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.
  2. Stir in half of the caramel sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Custard Mixture
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until thoroughly combined.
Assembling the Toast
  1. Cut the French bread into thick slices, about 1-1.5 inches each.
  2. Take a slice of bread and cut a pocket in the middle—be careful not to cut all the way through. Spoon a generous amount of the caramel apple filling into each pocket.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a bit of butter.
  2. Dip each stuffed slice of bread in the egg custard mixture, coating well on both sides, and then place them on the skillet.
  3. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with a drizzle of remaining caramel sauce on top and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for decoration.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze cooked slices for up to a month. To reheat, place in a toaster oven or oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
