CARAMEL APPLE SOFT PRETZELS
Soft pretzels and caramel apples make a delectable pairing in this scratch-made treat. Tart Granny Smith apples are kneaded into sweet yeasted dough, then formed into pretzel shapes and baked to golden-brown perfection. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with a homemade caramel glaze for the ideal contrast of salty and sweet.

Steps:
- For the pretzels: Pour the warm milk into a medium bowl and sprinkle the yeast over. Let the yeast bloom until softened and foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla and 1 cup of the flour with a wooden spoon until just combined. Stir in the softened butter until incorporated, then add the remaining 1 1/4 cups flour, chopped apple, cinnamon and kosher salt to make a sticky dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding more flour if needed, until smooth but still slightly tacky, about 5 minutes. Shape into a ball, place in a lightly buttered large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch the dough down to deflate it, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. (If the dough seems tight, cover it and let rest until it relaxes.) Divide the dough into 6 pieces.
- Working with one piece at a time, roll and stretch the dough with the palms of your hands into a 24-inch-long rope. Lift the ends of the rope to make a U shape, then cross one end over the other twice to make a double twist in the middle. Fold down the ends and attach them to the bottom of the U, creating a pretzel shape. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Dissolve the baking soda in 3 cups hot water in a shallow baking dish. Gently dip each pretzel in the soda solution, let some of the excess water drip off, then arrange on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with the coarse salt. Bake until the pretzels are puffed and deep golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- For the caramel glaze: Melt the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until completely melted and smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream until combined, then transfer to a medium bowl. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth (it should be thick enough to drizzle over the pretzels but not so thin that it drips away). Immediately transfer to a small piping bag or resealable bag, snip the corner and drizzle over the cooled pretzels. Let the glaze set, about 10 minutes.
BAKED CARAMEL-APPLE 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.

Steps:
- use granny smith apples because of their low water content. juicy apples, like McIntosh, fall apart and turn to mush (He wasn't lying. That's the worse batch I made!).
- 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 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 trip out- KEEP STIRRING! Once the apples warm up the caramel will smooth out again.
- When the caramel sauce loosens up and coats 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 them warm.
- For the french toast itself, warm the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium low heat.
- You'll probably only be able to fit a couple of croissants in the pan at once, so make them in batches.
- Take a croissant half and dredge it quickly in the batter. Do this QUICKLY or else the croissant will disintegrate if soaked in the batter.
- Lay the croissants in the pan, cut side down and cook for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip them over with a spatula and brown the other side.
- The presentation is like a caramel apple sandwich. Put the bottom half of the croissant on a plate; spoon some of the caramel apples on top of that and cover with the top half of the croissant.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and cinnamon and enjoy!

Steps:
- For the blackberry syrup: In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes on low. Stir in the cornstarch, then continue cooking, using a whisk or spoon to mash the larger pieces of blackberries. Remove from the heat when it's nice and thick.
- For the croissant French toast: Split the croissants in half through the middle.
- In a bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs. Dunk each croissant half into the mixture so that it's fully coated. Set the pieces aside on a plate.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat, then melt a small amount of butter in it. Add as many croissant halves as will fit, cut-side down, then increase the heat very slightly (don't go above medium low). Allow the pieces to cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes. Move them around in the skillet a bit to make sure they don't burn. When they're deep golden brown on the bottom, flip them to the other side and let them cook for another 2 minutes or so. Remove from the pan and cook the rest of the croissant halves.
- Serve a top and bottom piece together with butter, warm blackberry syrup and maple syrup, strawberries and whipped cream.

- Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and grease with nonstick spray. Working in batches, dip the croissant halves in batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then arrange in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, 3-5 minutes per side.
- Top the bottom croissant halves with a scoop of whipped cream. Cover with the top croissant halves. Drizzle with salted caramel and garnish with the pecans and powdered sugar.
