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.

Tips:

  • For a crispy French toast, use stale bread. The bread will absorb the egg mixture better and result in a more golden-brown crust.
  • If you don't have a griddle, you can use a large skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cook the French toast in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan.
  • To make the praline topping, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • If you don't have any pecans, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
  • Serve the stuffed apple French toast with your favorite syrup or fruit compote.

Conclusion:

This stuffed apple French toast with praline topping is a delicious and indulgent breakfast or brunch recipe. The apples and cinnamon give the French toast a warm and inviting flavor, while the praline topping adds a touch of sweetness and crunch. This dish is sure to impress your family and friends, and it's also a great way to use up any leftover apples you may have.
