Baked Caramel Apple French Toast Food

BAKED CARAMEL APPLE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium sauce pan, place the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup.
• Cook until it is well blended and it starts to thicken, about 4-5 minutes if butter is coming out of the fridge.
• Place the caramel in a 9" X 13" baking pan.
• Core and peel the apples, then slice them into a circle about 1/4" thick.
• Put the apples on top of the caramel.
• In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and milk, and the vanilla.
• Dip each slice of French bread into the egg mixture and then place them on top of the apples.
• Pour any remaining egg mixture on top of the bread.
• Bake, uncovered for 25 minutes.
• I like to turn the bread over and bake for another 15 minutes; however you can just leave it in the oven for the 35-40 minutes, but it makes the bottom a little too soft for me.
• Remove from the oven and spoon some of the caramel over each piece of bread.
• Sprinkle cinnamon on top of french toast, if desired.
• Serve while warm.

CROISSANT FRENCH TOAST WITH SOFT CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Make the batter for the French toast by whisking together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until evenly blended. Cover and refrigerate.
• Pay close attention while you make the caramel apples - put the sugar in a large dry skillet and place it over medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Be careful; the sugar is really hot at this point. Still stirring, add the butter, which will foam a little. Once the sugar and butter become a caramel sauce, fold in the apple wedges. Now, because the apples are cooler than the sugar, the sugar may start to seize and harden, but don't freak out -- keep stirring, once the apples warm up the caramel will smooth out again. When the caramel sauce starts to form around the apples, pour in the maple syrup. Give it a stir and simmer for about 10 minutes until the apples are fork tender. Pull them off the heat and keep warm until you are ready to serve.
• For the French toast itself, warm the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. You probably will only be able to fit a couple of croissants in the pan at once, so prepare these in batches. Take a croissant half and quickly dredge it in the batter. The key word here is quickly; the croissants are very soft and will disintegrate if soaked in the batter. Lay the croissants in the pan, cut-side down, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip them over with a spatula and brown the other side.
• The presentation is like a caramel apple sandwich - take the bottom half of the croissant and put it on a plate, spoon some of the caramel apples on top of that, and cover with the top 1/2 of the croissant. Dust with confectioners' sugar and cinnamon and serve.

APPLE-CARAMEL FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Spread bread slices on a baking sheet; let stand at least a few hours and up to overnight. Melt butter in a large ovenproof, nonreactive skillet (like an 11-to-12-inch enameled cast iron) over medium heat. Add 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil; cook 1 minute.
• Add apples and cook, turning occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown a bit and liquid thickens, about 12 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes.
• In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dip bread in mixture, turning to coat. Arrange atop apples, shingling in concentric circles. Pour remaining mixture on top. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 24.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle French toast with cinnamon and bake, uncovered, until set and golden on top, 35 to 45 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar; serve with yogurt, pecans, and fruit.
