STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH APPLES



Stuffed French Toast with Apples image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 red apples, such as Macintosh, cored and diced
3 teaspoons Truvia® natural sweetener spoonable*
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1/4 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 slices Pepperidge Farm 80 calorie cinnamon swirl bread
2/3 cup 1% milk
2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
*May substitute with 3 1/2 packets Truvia® natural sweetener

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine apples, 4 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon Truvia® natural sweetener, and cinnamon. Cover and cook until apples are tender and juicy, about 6 minutes. Uncover, toss and set aside.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, walnuts, cherries, 1 teaspoon Truvia® natural sweetener, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Put 4 slices bread on a cutting board and evenly spread with cream cheese mixture, about 1/4 cup per slice. Firmly press a second piece on top of each to form a sandwich.
  • 3. In a shallow bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, remaining 1 teaspoon Truvia® natural sweetener and vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water skitters around the pan. Soak each sandwich in the milk mixture for 1 minute, turning once and pressing edges of bread together. Allow excess to drip off and place sandwiches in the hot skillet. Cook, turning once until browned and crisp on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve the French toast with the apples on top.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 Gala apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 pear, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dozen large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups whole milk
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 day-old (or slightly older) loaf challah bread, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, for cooking
Pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • For the fruit-nut mixture: Mix the butter with the apples, pears, walnuts and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Refrigerate to chill briefly.
  • For the French toast: Meanwhile, in a large flat dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla.
  • Make a deep slice from the side into the center of each bread slice to form a pocket. Stuff a couple spoonfuls of the fruit-nut mixture into each piece (reserve any leftover fruit-nut mixture for serving). Dip the stuffed bread in the egg mixture to moisten on both sides (but not so much that the bread falls apart).

  • Put the extra fruit-nut mixture in the skillet and cook a few minutes over medium heat, just to soften the fruit. Spoon over the French toast and serve with warm maple syrup.

  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apples for extra flavor.
  • Don't overfill the French toast with apples. The filling should be able to fit inside the bread without overflowing.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or powdered sugar.
