Cinnamon Apple French Toast

Who doesn’t like a little breakfast food for dinner?
 I know I do. It’s a little more enjoyable cooking when various types of sugar are included.
 Cinnamon Apple French Toast 
Recipe adapted from food network, and skinny crockpot
Ingredients:
 
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 egg whites
  • 2 cups milk (almond or soy milk will work)
  • 2T agave nectar
  • 1t pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2t ground cinnamon
  • Sandwich bread
  • Dash salt
Filling:
  • 1 cup finely diced uncooked apple pieces (Honey Crisp or another sweet apple)
  • 1 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoons light corn syrup
Arrange slices of bread in a 9×13-inch baking dish (I used an 9×9-inch dish, but it was too thick, the middle wasn’t cooking)
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites , milk, agave nectar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and beat or whisk until blended but not too bubbly.
Add all the filling ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir to coat apple pieces, set aside
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place one layer of bread on the bottom of your dish, add the filling, top with another layer of bread.
Pour egg mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture.
Bake for 40 minutes

Add a little syrup…although it’s not necessary, it’s sweet enough on it’s own. I tried it both ways, and I really liked it without the syrup too!

(If using a crockpot cook on high 2 to 2-1/2 hours)

Next time I’m going to add 1/4 t of nutmeg…and only 1/4t cinnamon…num!

TIP: If you’re in a hurry go ahead and make french toast the normal way (ya know, dip your bread in the egg mixture, then cook the individual pieces on a hot skillet), then top it with the filling!
I’m 100% sure I’m doing it this way next time…I had some trouble with it cooking all the way through since I used a 9×9-inch. After an hour of cooking I split it in half and put each half in it’s own pan. What a pain!

This has got to be 5 STARS! We both loved the filling!
