Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• Ground cinnamon
• 6 slices bread
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 1/3-inch slices
• 2 tbsp water
• 1/2 cup maple syrup

Directions

1. Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and a dash of cinnamon in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add the slices of bread in a single layer and turn (occasionally) until all the egg is absorbed.

2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tbsp of the butter, add the apples, turning to coat with butter, and cook over medium-high heat until they start to caramelize. Add the water and cook until it has evaporated and until the apples are tender, about 4 more minutes. Add the maple syrup and another dash of cinnamon and simmer for 1 minute to combine. Remove from the heat but keep warm while you make the toast.

3. Melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the soaked bread and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes, adding more butter to the skillet if needed. Arrange the French toast on a serving plate and top with the apple-maple mixture and more butter.
