French Toast Fondue

Little french toast bites served with syrup and an apricot dipping sauce. For a perfect breakfast feast serve with toppings such as chopped nuts, fruit and coconut. Note: You should use 1-inch thick slices of soft French bread. It wouldn't let me list it that way in the ingredient section.
