Delicious for lunch: apple pie toast
Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: the recipe for an apple pie toast.
Recently, I stumbled upon a delicious hypnotizing video of a Apple Pie Stuffed French Toast, or in other words: an apple pie toast. An apple pie and a toast in one, a brilliant idea, if you ask me. And it's so easy to make too!
INGREDIENTS
2 eggs
120 ml full milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
cinnamon
2 slices of (white) bread
butter
1 apple, peeled and finely chopped
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp water
currants and raisins (optional)
powdered sugar (optional)
whipped cream (optional)
I don't know if it's foodie nature to be completely obsessed with an ingredient or dish every now and then, but it happens to me regularly. From pumpkin spice cashews to fried salmon skin and sprinkling za'atar spice mix everywhere; some obsessions can be quite persistent (to the great hilarity or aggression of housemates, yes, I have a real za'atar ban). And now there's the apple pie toast obsession. Because I'm sure I'm going to score big with this, and you will too, I'm happy to share the recipe.
Here's how to make an apple pie toast
- In a bowl, combine the following ingredients: the eggs, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon and mix with a whisk until smooth.
- Heat a frying pan with some butter and sauté the small pieces of apple for about 3 minutes, standing by and stirring.
- Add the brown sugar, a little more cinnamon, and the water to this apple mixture and cook until the apple has softened. Optionally, you can add some currants and raisins. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a little extra water.
- Spread the apple mixture over one slice of bread and place the other slice on top.
- Dip the bread carefully on both sides in the egg mixture.
- Heat a pan again with butter and fry the toast on both sides until golden brown.
- Optional: sprinkle with powdered sugar and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
