Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 8 slices of bread
- 2 apples, cubed
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) butter
- ⅓ cup (70 grams) palm sugar
Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Create a silky custard base by whisking eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, vanilla extract, palm sugar, and milk until smooth and fully integrated.
- Transform apples into a luscious caramel creation by heating palm sugar in a skillet, then incorporating apple slices and cinnamon powder, stirring continuously until sugar liquefies and apples become glossy and tender.
- Introduce a small amount of milk to the apple mixture, allowing it to simmer and develop rich caramelized undertones, then transfer the fragrant mixture to a separate container.
- Warm butter in a skillet, preparing a golden cooking surface for the bread.
- Immerse each bread slice into the prepared custard mixture, ensuring comprehensive and even coverage.
- Gently place custard-coated bread into the heated skillet, cooking each side until achieving a crisp, golden-brown exterior, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Plate the French toast and crown with the caramelized apple mixture, delicately dusting the creation with a light veil of powdered sugar for a refined finish.
Notes
- Swap bread types to suit dietary needs like gluten-free sourdough or whole wheat for added nutrition.
- Use plant-based milk and egg alternatives to create a vegan-friendly version that maintains creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Control caramelization by stirring apples constantly and using low-medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom to the egg
