CINNAMON TOAST
The ingredients for cinnamon toast - bread, cinnamon, sugar and butter - have remained largely unchanged since the recipe first appeared in 15th century Europe, where it was introduced as a less expensive version of French toast. Some variations call for adding the cinnamon and sugar before toasting, others after. The secret to achieving a cinnamon toast that's both gooey and crunchy? A combination of both methods. Toast the bread in butter in a skillet, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, flip so the sugar caramelizes, then sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar when it's done. Toasting the bread in a skillet (like French toast) produces browned butter, which adds nutty warmth.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
- Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
- Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.

Steps:
- 1. Butter a casserole dish. In a bowl whisk the milk, vanilla, sugar, eggs, maple Syrup, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon together. Set aside.
- 2. Rip bread in to pieces like you would for stuffing. Toss in egg mixture with the apples and raisins. Coat evenly.
- 3. Pour in to a casserole dish. Drizzle melted butter over it. Mix 2 TB sugar with a 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle over casserole. Dot with pieces of cream cheese. Cover with saran and put in fridge at least 3 hours or over night .
- 4. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes, or until lightly browned. I drizzle a little more butter over it before serving. Serve right away after removing from oven. Dust with powdered sugar, or serve with syrup.
Tips:
- Use fresh cinnamon: Freshly ground cinnamon has a more intense flavor than pre-ground cinnamon. If you don't have a cinnamon grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle to grind it yourself.
- Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your cinnamon toast is a matter of personal preference. If you like your toast sweeter, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet toast, add less sugar or omit it altogether.
- Use high-quality butter: The better the butter, the better your cinnamon toast will taste. Look for a butter that is made with fresh cream and has a high butterfat content.
- Toast your bread to perfection: The perfect slice of cinnamon toast is crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. To achieve this, toast your bread until it is golden brown and slightly charred.
- Serve immediately: Cinnamon toast is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the softer the toast will become and the less flavorful the cinnamon sugar topping will be.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon toast is a classic breakfast or snack that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying treat that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give cinnamon toast a try. You won't be disappointed!
