Ingredients
  

1 loaf of thick bread (Challah or Brioche recommended)

2 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 medium apple (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp butter (for cooking)

Powdered sugar (for serving)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Make the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well blended and slightly frothy.

      Slice the Bread: Cut the bread into thick strips (about 1.5 inches wide) to form French toast sticks.

        Soak the Bread: Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

          Cook the Sticks: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once hot, place a few bread sticks in the skillet (do not overcrowd). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

            Add the Apples: After flipping the French toast sticks, sprinkle a tablespoon of the apple mixture on top and press down lightly with a spatula to help caramelize the apples. Cook for an additional minute.

              Repeat the cooking process until all the sticks are cooked and the apples are soft and fragrant.

                Serve: Arrange the French toast sticks on a plate. Dust them with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup for dipping.
