Cinnamon Apple French Toast

We made it y’all! We officially made it to the month of fall! Fall technically starts on September 22nd. However, I don’t need that type of negativity in my life so fall starts on September 1st in this household. Here is how my seasonal calendar works: Fall is from September 1st to October 31st. Christmas is from November 1st until December 25th. Yes, I said fall and then Christmas to describe the seasons. Now that this is established, let me help you get prepared for fall by sharing the details of this delicious breakfast Cinnamon Apple French Toast recipe.

There is something so perfect about a stack of French toast on a fall weekend morning. The sweet cinnamon apples and fluffy French toast pieces will truly give the comfort food feeling we all deserve on a crisp fall morning. Now if you live in the south like I do then you’ll need to pretend the air is crisp by cranking your AC up because it’s still 90 degrees outside. Ugh. I’m truly not a fan of the heat in September in case you can’t tell? But despite the weather we can always get in fall mode with the best fall foods like this cinnamon apple French toast.

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Tips:

• All griddles and skillets are not created equal. I say this because you need to gage how much heat is too much heat to avoid soggy French toast with burned edges. Start on low medium heat and then gradually increase if necessary.
• Before adding maple syrup taste the dish first. There is sugar in the French toast batter and cinnamon apple mixture. Your don’t want it to be overbearingly sweet by adding maple syrup before taste testing.
• I highly recommend brioche bread or any bread that is more sturdy and thick. Although, you can never go wrong with a classic Texas toast bread if you’re not a fan of bread that is too thick.
