Apple Pie French Toast

Hi friends! Today was Tanner & I's 10 month anniversary! Yay! 
It's so weird to say it, but we've made it so far. Who knew that last summer's little fling would lead to this? I'm so very lucky to be able to spend each day with my best friend; he is such a good guy & I couldn't be happier right now. 

Tanner&I love cooking, & for the longest time, Tanner has been wanting to make these Apple Pie Sandwiches, so today we decided to give it a try! 

 Ingredients: 
- 2 cups of diced peeled apples
- 1 cup of water
-1/2 cup of sugar
- 5 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
- 10 slices of sandwich bread
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- vanilla ice cream (optional)

Once we had our ingredients, the cooking process wasn't too bad. 
The first step is to cook the apples & water in a saucepan for 10 minutes, on low to medium heat. 

 While the apples are cooking, mix the 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg & cinnamon. 


 Once everything is mixed, stir into the saucepan with the apples. Bring the saucepan mixture to a boil & cook for 2 minutes and stir until it thickens. 
After that, remove the saucepan from the heat & stir in the lemon juice. 

Mix the milk, eggs, vanilla & remaining sugar into a small bowl. 
Dip the pieces of bread in the egg mixture & place 1/3 cup of the apple filling in between 2 slices of bread. 




Finally, cook the sandwiches on a lightly greased pan until golden brown. 



















We ended up making 5 French Toast sandwiches total, but the amount can vary depending on how much of the apple mixture you make. 

The Apple Pie Sandwiches tasted so good! They are very sweet, however, so I wouldn't recommend putting powdered sugar or syrup on them. But pairing them with a bit of vanilla ice cream was good. 

The whole process only took about 30 minutes. 
I think these would make a really yummy breakfast rather than desert. 
If you have any questions, please leave a comment; I'd be more than happy to help you out.
