• Ingredients: 13
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄8 cup butter
• 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple juice or 2 tablespoons water
• 2 apples, chopped (granny Smith work best)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 1 small handful pecans, chopped
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄8 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1⁄2 loaf bread

directions

1. In a pan- melt 1/4 stick of butter and stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar. It'll make a paste. Once made into paste, add 2 Tbsp apple juice or water a tiny bit of apple juice or water (a couple of tablespoons).
2. While step one is heating, cut two apples. You can cut them as small as you want- but cut smaller watch that they don't get too soft. Add to pan and let cool on low- add cinnamon (I use a lot) to taste and nutmeg (tiny pinch). Chop and add pecans (I just used a small handful).
3. While your apples and pecans cook on low, make your French toast batter. (Mine is eggs, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and milk to make it runnier- but I really don't have a recipe for this part. You can use any recipe). Dip your bread on both sides and cook. After all are done- if you have batter left you can tedious and reheat, it makes them crispier.
4. Lightly butter if desired then add some of the Apple topping. If the syrup is too sweet use a slotted spoon to drain from Apple syrup and just put a little maple syrup on with the apples instead.
