Cut into serving pieces and top with sweetened whipped cream and garnish with pecans , cinnamon and nutmeg.Sprinkle powdered sugar over top. I usually serve mine with any fresh fruit in season and maple syrup.Raspberries, blueberries and strawberries are delicious on top too. Note: Fresh peaches or pears can be substituted for apples.
  • 2. This is a Bed & Breakfast recipe from River House B&B in Chicago. Never been there but this got passed along somehow.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for your French toast. A thick, sturdy bread will hold up better to the caramel and apples.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. Cook it in batches if necessary, so that each piece has enough room to cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the French toast. Cook it until it is golden brown and cooked through, but not dry.
  • Serve the French toast immediately, while it is still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Caramel apple French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. The combination of sweet caramel, tart apples, and fluffy French toast is sure to please everyone at the table.
