French Toast

I've always liked stale bread. Stale bread means french toast. I like thick slices of crusty french bread so the middle is soft and the outside chewy. Caramelised apple goes indecently well with french toast and so does maple syrup and vanilla sugar. Sunday mornings will never be the same, i think.

Caramelised Apple

Quarter 2 bramley apples and coat with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla sugar. Heat a knob of butter and add the apple when it atarts to foam. Allow the sugar to caramelise on both sides adding more sugar if it is too tart.. Lastly add some cider and allow to cook down. When the apple is tender to touch it is ready to serve. The apple will be sweet and tangy.
