Apple Pecan French Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Place eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, apples and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• Mist bottom of a 12-by-8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Place bread slices in a single layer in pan. Pour egg mixture over bread. Turn bread slices over to coat other side. Cover pan with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator overnight.
• When ready to serve, preheat oven to 425°F Remove pan from refrigerator and remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle pecans over top and drizzle with melted butter. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until bread slices puff. Serve with maple syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a flat dish, crack eggs and add milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined then lay challah slices in mixture to coat and absorb it all, turning occasionally.
• Set a 10-inch skillet, seasoned cast iron if you have, over medium heat. Add the butter and 1 cup sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has melted and caramelized, about 8 minutes. While the sugar is melting, peel apples, core and cut into halves. Remove from heat and gently whisk in the heavy cream. Sprinkle in the pecans, dried cranberries and gently press in the apple halves so there is a flat surface. Lay soaked slices of challah over the top so it is completely covered - you should be able to arrange the large slices and small slices so there are no gaps. Sprinkle the top with some brown sugar and place into the preheated oven. Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden and puffy.
• When done, allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes then invert onto a large plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• In a pan- melt 1/4 stick of butter and stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar. It'll make a paste. Once made into paste, add 2 Tbsp apple juice or water a tiny bit of apple juice or water (a couple of tablespoons).
• While step one is heating, cut two apples. You can cut them as small as you want- but cut smaller watch that they don't get too soft. Add to pan and let cool on low- add cinnamon (I use a lot) to taste and nutmeg (tiny pinch). Chop and add pecans (I just used a small handful).
• While your apples and pecans cook on low, make your French toast batter. (Mine is eggs, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and milk to make it runnier- but I really don't have a recipe for this part. You can use any recipe). Dip your bread on both sides and cook. After all are done- if you have batter left you can tedious and reheat, it makes them crispier.
• Lightly butter if desired then add some of the Apple topping. If the syrup is too sweet use a slotted spoon to drain from Apple syrup and just put a little maple syrup on with the apples instead.

Steps:

• 1. Grease a 13 X 9 pan. 1. Combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, apples and vanilla. 3. Put bread in single layer in pan. Pour egg mixture over bread. Turn bread to coat other side. Cover with plastic wra;; and refrigerate overight. 4. Preheat oven to 425. Sprinkle pecans over top and drizzle with butter. Bake 20-25 minutes. Serve with butter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla and salt; pour over bread. Let stand for 10 minutes, turning once. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter and corn syrup; cook over medium heat until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking dish; sprinkle with pecans. Top with bread. Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 160°, 30-35 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter. Serve immediately.
