Apple Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast is the perfect autumn morning breakfast! Use up all the apples you picked at the orchard for this decadent and delicious stuffed french toast filled with caramelized apples and cinnamon cheesecake filling.
Additional butter for greasing the griddle/skillet
8slicesof bread
Instructions
To make the apples:
Heat butter spread in a medium pan over medium-high heat.
Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Stir and cook until apples are softened, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the cheesecake filling:
In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
To make the french toast:
Preheat a non-stick skillet/griddle to medium-high heat. You want it hot and ready so you can place your french toast sandwiches immediately on the skillet after you dip them in the egg mixture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on four slices of bread.
Top with sautéed apples, and then top with another slice of bread to make a sandwich.
Grease your griddle/skillet with cooking spray or butter. I just like to put about a tablespoon of butter on while it's hot and move it around to get the entire griddle greased.
Dip the sandwich in the egg/milk mixture on both sides. Let excess egg/milk mixture drip off and then place immediately on skillet/griddle.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately topped with maple syrup, powdered, sugar, or honey.
Enjoy!
Notes
The filling and apples can be made in advance to make prep time in the morning faster.
