Perfect for a weekend treat. Pretty sweet, we opted to use the sauce from the apples as syrup to cut down on the sugar.
Ingredients
  • 1 loaf French bread! sliced 1" thick
  • 5 eggs
  • 1½ cup buttermilk
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 5 medium apples, peeled sliced and core removed
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat apples, brown sugar, butter until melted. Add vanilla and 1 tsp of the cinnamon. Simmer until apples are soft 10 min. Take off heat, let sit for space to firm up. If you want a thicker sauce, use more brown sugar. I opted for less to save calories.
  2. In a shallow dish, beat eggs, buttermilk and remaining cinnamon. Dip bread into egg mixture thoroughly coating, make sure you scrape off extra mixture before cooking. Place bread into a preheated fry pan cook each side until brown. Top with apple mixture and powdered sugar.
  3. Enjoy!
