16-ounce challah bread, cut into 4 slices (2 to 3 inches thick)

2 ounces unsalted butter

1 cup maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or sea salt

2 cups piñata apples, peeled, cored and diced small

1 pint vanilla ice cream, as needed for topping


Instructions:

1. Whisk together coffee creamer and eggs until creamy. Dip each slice of challah bread into custard and flip to coat each side well.

5. Continue to cook until apples are soft and liquid has reduced and become thick like a caramel, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

6. Sprinkle sugar over the tops of soaked bread. Heat a large non-stick pan or griddle to medium-high.

7. Spray griddle or pan with non-stick spray and sear challah bread sugar-side down.

8. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until sugar is just caramelized, then flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.

9. Transfer toast back to wire rack and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until bread is nicely soft and custard is cooked through.

10. To serve, place each slice of French Toast on a plate, drizzle apple sauce over the top and garnish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

11. Chef’s note: Apples can be served warm to room temperature or simply reheat if preferred hot. Click here for the full recipe.
