Combine apples , water,cinnamon, sugar,lemon juice and cook stirring constantly in pan over medium heat just until apples begin to soften. Add cornstarch and continue to stir until thickened.

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:

  • Choose the right bread: Day-old bread is ideal for French toast because it absorbs the egg mixture better and results in a sturdier, less soggy slice.
  • Slice the bread evenly: This will ensure that all of the slices cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the French toast in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can make the slices soggy.
  • Use a non-stick pan: This will help to prevent the French toast from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: This will help to prevent the French toast from burning.
  • Flip the French toast carefully: Use a spatula to carefully flip the French toast so that it doesn't break.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Apple caramel French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. Whether you serve it with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or syrup, apple caramel French toast is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
