Your breakfast might never be the same again – not after you try this! I have to admit, this was a complete experiment but it turned out SO good. I couldn’t wait to share it here.
I’ve wanted to come up with a fun, new breakfast option for us for awhile, so this was a fun tackle. And probably the most tasty one yet!
Cinnamon-Apple Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 apples, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 12 slices thick, hearty bread (I used a whole wheat sandwich-cut bread. The bread needs to be hearty enough to stand up to the filling.)
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Extra butter for the skillet
Instructions
- Melt 1/4 c. butter in a small skillet. Add apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook 5-8 minutes until apples start getting tender.
- In a bowl, add cream cheese and apple mixture. Stir until well combined. (This can be made the night before and kept refrigerated.)
- Add about 2 T. filling to the center of one piece of bread. Spread out a little but don’t go all the way to the edges. Top with another slice of bread to make a sandwich. Repeat with all.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture as you would for regular French toast. Cook in a hot, greased skillet, 3-4 minutes per side.
