Ingredients

• 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah)
• 2 pieces Apples (medium-sized, peeled and diced)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 4 pieces Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and caramelized, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.

Step 3

Take 4 slices of bread and spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice. Spoon the caramelized apples onto the cream cheese layer, spreading evenly. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread to create 4 sandwiches.

Step 4

In a shallow bowl or pie dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.

Step 5

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface.

Step 6

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are soaked but not overly saturated. Let any excess mixture drip off before placing the sandwich on the heated skillet.

Step 7

Cook the French toast sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove from the skillet and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
