Ingredients
Apple mixture:
- 4 apples
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons of brown sugar
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
French toast:
- 1 raisin and apple bread from Au Pain Doré

- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 8 tablespoons of fresh cream (to garnish)

Preparation
Peel the apples and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a pan, melt the butter and then add the apples and cinnamon. Cook for about 1 minute and add the brown sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the apples are tender. Continue stirring for 3 to 5 minutes until the apples are well coated in the thick liquid. Remove from heat and add the maple syrup. Set aside.
Cut the bread into slices of about 2 inches wide.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and add the milk. Mix well and then add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Take the bread slices and dip them into the egg mixture.
Cook the bread slices for 2 to 3 minutes on a medium heat stove. Flip and cook the other side.
Serve with fresh cream, the warm apple mixture, and chopped pecans.
