Apple Raisin French Toast

 

Remember my Apple Raisin Bread?  This morning I decided to get a loaf  out of the freezer and slice it up to make French toast.  Not any French toast.  The kind of French toast my Mom made when I was growing up.  There was no baked French toast with custard at my house.  She would get out her largest skillet and slice some homemade bread and fry it up.  Nice thick slices with lots of butter and maple syrup.  So, that’s what we have here.  My Apple Raisin Bread, sliced thick and fried up in my Mom’s old cast iron skillet.  Still the same as I remember. Buttery and sweet and delicious!

Apple Raisin French Toast

3 thick slices of my Apple Raisin bread (type apple raisin bread in the search box)

2 tablespoons butter

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Real maple syrup, warmed 

Whisk eggs until well blended. Add vanilla and pour into a shallow bowl. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing bread to soak up some of the mixture.

Melt butter in a large skillet or flat griddle on medium high heat. Add as many slices of bread onto the skillet as will fit at a time. Sprinkle with cinnamon and fry until brown on both sides, flipping the bread when necessary. Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
