" APPLE TOPPED FRENCH TOAST "

4 large eggs
1/3 cup milk

8 slices of bread
2 tablespoons butter, divided

Beat eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
Soak bread slices in the mixture until saturated.

Meanwhile, prepare apple topping: melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add apples and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add brown sugar and cinnamon: cook for 2 minutes, or until apples are slightly soft.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
If you're using nut press saturated bread slices into chopped nuts to coat.

  2. I used to eat the apple-topped pancakes at the Pancake House when I was a kid, so these sound great to me! As a good Southerner, I would definitely top them with the pecans. Mmmmmmm…
