SALTED CARAMEL FRENCH TOAST BAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, add the sugar and water, carefully swirling the pan to make sure the water is covering all the sugar. Cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes, or until a deep amber colour, without stirring.

• Preheat oven to 350˚F/(180°C).

• Placed the chopped white bread into a greased heatproof dish and pour over the egg mixture. Sprinkle over chopped pecans and bake for 45 minutes. (If the top of the bread is burning, cover with foil halfway through baking.)
• Serve with icing sugar and leftover salted caramel sauce.
• Enjoy!

BAKED CARAMEL-APPLE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Cut bread into 1 1/2 inch thick slices and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, beat eggs with 1 1/2 cup skim milk, 1/3 cup white sugar, and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Pour egg mixture over bread slices.
• Arrange apple slices on top of bread. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons white sugar over apples. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• In the morning: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake toast in preheated oven until golden brown, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup white sugar, flour, and margarine. Stir in brown sugar, 1/2 cup skim milk, and 2 teaspoons vanilla in a small saucepan. Cook until thick. Serve French toast hot with warm sauce.

BAKED CARAMEL APPLE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium sauce pan, place the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup.
• Cook until it is well blended and it starts to thicken, about 4-5 minutes if butter is coming out of the fridge.
• Place the caramel in a 9" X 13" baking pan.
• Core and peel the apples, then slice them into a circle about 1/4" thick.
• Put the apples on top of the caramel.
• In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and milk, and the vanilla.
• Dip each slice of French bread into the egg mixture and then place them on top of the apples.
• Pour any remaining egg mixture on top of the bread.
• Bake, uncovered for 25 minutes.
• I like to turn the bread over and bake for another 15 minutes; however you can just leave it in the oven for the 35-40 minutes, but it makes the bottom a little too soft for me.
• Remove from the oven and spoon some of the caramel over each piece of bread.
• Sprinkle cinnamon on top of french toast, if desired.
• Serve while warm.

SLOW-COOKER CARAMEL APPLE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300°F. On large cookie sheet, spread bread cubes. Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until dry.
• Line sides of 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with foil that has been folded into thirds; spray with cooking spray. (See tip.)
• In large bowl, beat remaining French Toast ingredients. Fold in bread cubes to coat. Let stand 15 minutes, folding occasionally.
• In 8-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add apples; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together remaining 6 tablespoons butter and remaining Apple-Pecan Filling ingredients until crumbly.
• Spoon half of bread mixture (about 4 cups) into slow cooker. Top with half of the apples. Sprinkle with half of the brown sugar mixture. Repeat layers.
• Cover; cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours on Low heat setting or until temperature reaches 160°F and center is set.
• Remove foil before serving by loosening edges with table knife. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with syrup.

CROISSANT FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• For the blackberry syrup: In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes on low. Stir in the cornstarch, then continue cooking, using a whisk or spoon to mash the larger pieces of blackberries. Remove from the heat when it's nice and thick.
• For the croissant French toast: Split the croissants in half through the middle.
• In a bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs. Dunk each croissant half into the mixture so that it's fully coated. Set the pieces aside on a plate.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat, then melt a small amount of butter in it. Add as many croissant halves as will fit, cut-side down, then increase the heat very slightly (don't go above medium low). Allow the pieces to cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes. Move them around in the skillet a bit to make sure they don't burn. When they're deep golden brown on the bottom, flip them to the other side and let them cook for another 2 minutes or so. Remove from the pan and cook the rest of the croissant halves.
• Serve a top and bottom piece together with butter, warm blackberry syrup and maple syrup, strawberries and whipped cream.

CROISSANT FRENCH TOAST WITH SOFT CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• use granny smith apples because of their low water content. juicy apples, like McIntosh, fall apart and turn to mush (He wasn't lying. That's the worse batch I made!).
• Make the batter for the French toast by whisking together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until evenly blended. Cover and refrigerate.
• Pay close attention while you make the apples.
• Put the sugar in a large, dry skillet and place it over medium-low heat.
• Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Be careful; the sugar is really hot at this point.
• Still stirring, add the butter, which will foam a little.
• Once the sugar and butter become a caramel sauce, fold in the apple wedges. Now, because the apples are cooler than the sugar, the sugar may start to seize and harden, but don't trip out- KEEP STIRRING! Once the apples warm up the caramel will smooth out again.
• When the caramel sauce loosens up and coats the apples, pour in the maple syrup.
• Give it a stir and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the apples are fork tender.
• Pull them off the heat and keep them warm.
• For the french toast itself, warm the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium low heat.
• You'll probably only be able to fit a couple of croissants in the pan at once, so make them in batches.
• Take a croissant half and dredge it quickly in the batter. Do this QUICKLY or else the croissant will disintegrate if soaked in the batter.
• Lay the croissants in the pan, cut side down and cook for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip them over with a spatula and brown the other side.
• The presentation is like a caramel apple sandwich. Put the bottom half of the croissant on a plate; spoon some of the caramel apples on top of that and cover with the top half of the croissant.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar and cinnamon and enjoy!
