For an extra touch of richness, consider adding a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the apple pie filling during the last few minutes of simmering. Brioche or challah bread works best for French toast due to their rich flavor and texture, but any thick-cut bread will do. To keep the French toast warm while cooking in batches, place the cooked slices on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C). A dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar makes a lovely garnish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Apples: In a bowl, gently toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepMake the Apple Pie Filling: In a large saucepan, melt 0.5 cup of butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the flour until smooth. Return the saucepan to low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and water until the sugars are dissolved and the mixture is smooth. (Cook time: 3-5 minutes)
03
StepSimmer the Filling: Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce the heat to low, then add the apple slices. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the apples are cooked but still slightly tender. (Cook time: 20-25 minutes)
04
StepPreheat Griddle: Preheat a griddle to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepPrepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
06
StepSoak the Bread: Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated on both sides. Allow excess egg mixture to drip off. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
07
StepCook the French Toast: Grease the heated griddle with frozen butter. Cook the dipped bread slices on the hot, buttered griddle until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and bread. (Cook time: 4-6 minutes per batch)
08
StepServe: Serve the French toast immediately, generously topping each slice with the warm apple pie filling.
