This falls in the Gets Better With Age category. Use day-old brioche for the best results. Also could be filed under What's Not To Love About Bread Dipped in Custard And Fried?

Ingredients

  • 2 royal gala apples
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 75 g (⅓ cup) brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 80 ml (⅕ cup) pouring (single) cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar, extra
  • 3 thick slices brioche bread (day-old brioche is best)
  • 30 g butter, extra

Instructions

Core and thickly slice apples, leaving skin on. Toss in lemon juice.

Melt butter in a non-stick pan over a medium heat, add apples. Cook, stirring until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Add brown sugar and cinnamon, cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Use a fork to whisk eggs, cream, vanilla and extra brown sugar together in a wide shallow bowl.

Melt one-third of extra butter in a clean non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Working with one slice of brioche at a time, dip each side into egg mixture, allow excess to dip off before placing into the hot pan. Cook 1 minute each side or until golden. Transfer to a warm plate and repeat with remaining brioche.

Serve French toast topped with warm cinnamon apples.
