Ingredients

• 1 apple, peeled and divided; 1/2 thinly sliced
• 2/3 cup maple syrup
• kosher salt
• 1 cup 1% milk
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 1 Tbsp. apple cider
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, plus more fir sprinkling

• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger

• honey for drizzling (optional)
• 1 Tbsp. butter

Directions

1. Make apple syrup: Combine diced apple, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer; lower heat so syrup bubbles gently and cook 10 minutes. Remove from heat. (Make it ahead: Refrigerate syrup and serve it war or chilled the next day.)
2. Meanwhile, beat milk with eggs, apple cider, cinnamon, vanilla, ground ginger, and a big pinch of salt in aa measuring cup. Pour into a shallow bowl or pie plate.
3. Spread 4 slices bread with 2 Tbsp. peanut butter each. Top each with thinly sliced apple; drizzle apple with honey (if desired) and sprinkle with cinnamon. Sandwich with remaining 4 slices bread and press together.
4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Working 2 sandwiches at a time, soak sandwiches in milk mixture on each side, letting excess drip off. Cook in skillet about 6 minutes for each side, until browned and warmed through. Cut into halves, if desired. Serve with apple syrup.
