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 variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- If you don't have caramel sauce, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of sugar with 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of butter until it thickens and turns golden brown.
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the custard mixture.
- Be careful not to overcook the French toast, or it will become dry and tough.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.
