Looking over the great selection sent to us by the sponsors, one thing immediately came to my mind- French Toast. I'd recently made a savory crusted grilled cheese, and a breakfast version sounded perfect. I love apples cooked until soft and caramel-y on the stove. It makes the house smell great, and it's delicious too. Using the oats on the outside gives it a wonderful crunch.
Thank you so much to Carlee for all of her hard work to make this such a great event! I've been counting down and looking forward to this year's for weeks

Oatmeal Crusted Apple Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients
- For Apple Filling
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 3 apples, medium, peeled, cored, diced small
- 1/2 teaspoon Rodelle Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- For French Toast
- 4 eggs, large
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon Rodelle Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 8 slices hearty bread, I used Farmhouse-style Oatmeal
- 1 packet Flahavan's Irish Oatmeal
- Real maple syrup or powdered sugar, optional
Instructions
- Prepare filling: Over medium heat, melt butter. Add apples, and cook until softened, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice.
- Cook an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until apples are softened, and carmelized. Set aside.
- For French Toast: Heat griddle to medium. Combine eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon in a large bowl. Beat well.
- Place oats into pie plate or shallow pan. Spread 1/4 cup apple filling over 4 slices of bread. Top with remaining slices.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on griddle, or spray with nonstick spray.
- Dip french toast sandwiches into egg mixture, flipping to coat both sides.
- Sprinkle both sides with the oats, pressing slightly. Place on griddle, and cook until golden brown on one side.
- Flip, and cook the other side, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Serve warm.
