Instructions
Step 1
Start by peeling the apples, then remove the seeds. Cut the apples into small cubes and set them aside.
In a skillet, melt some butter over medium heat. Add the apple cubes, sugar, and your mixed spices (about 1 teaspoon) to the pan.
Cook the apples until they are soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
In a deep bowl, crack the egg and pour in the milk. Whisk them together until well combined, adding a pinch of salt to taste.
Step 3
Take a slice of toast bread and dunk it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s soaked well.
Heat a skillet with some butter and add the soaked toast. Fry until golden brown on both sides, adding more butter if necessary.
Step 4
Once toasted, layer the caramelized apples between slices of the toast.
Serve the hot toasts immediately with a scoop of ice cream on the side. Enjoy your delicious Autumn Toasts!
Servings
These spiced apple toasts are perfect for a cozy brunch or as a sweet dessert! 🍂✨
Serve them warm, and don’t forget the scoop of ice cream on top for that delightful contrast of hot and cold. Vanilla or caramel ice cream works wonderfully, offering a rich creaminess that perfectly complements the spiced apples. 🍨
For a little extra flair, drizzle with some honey or sprinkle a few chopped nuts on top for added crunch. 😍
These toasts can also be made into mini versions for a fun party appetizer, making them not just a dish but an experience everyone will love! 💖
Equipment
For this recipe, you can use either a toaster or a skillet. If using a skillet, ensure it is well heated for a perfectly golden crust.
A good mixing bowl is critical for whisking your egg and milk mixture. Opt for a bowl that’s deep enough to avoid spills!

Variations
If you're looking to switch things up, why not try some gluten-free and vegan variations? 🌱✨ You can easily substitute the normal bread with gluten-free bread or whole grain options that suit your dietary needs. For a vegan version, replace the egg and milk with flaxseed meal mixed with water and almond milk respectively. You won’t lose the delicious flavor or the rich texture! Plus, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or clove for a unique twist! 🍏🎉
Faq
- What kind of bread is best for this recipe?
Using thick, sturdy bread like brioche or sourdough helps prevent the toasts from getting soggy.
- Can I use other fruits besides apples?
Absolutely! Pears, bananas, or peaches would also be delicious alternatives. Just adjust the cooking time based on the fruit's firmness.
- How do I prevent the apples from browning before cooking?
Simply toss the peeled and chopped apples with a little lemon juice to keep them fresh until you're ready to cook.
- What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Keep any leftover toasts in an airtight container in the fridge. When reheating, simply pop them back in the skillet to regain that crispy texture!
- Can I prepare the apple mixture in advance?
Yes! You can make the caramelized apple mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a couple of days. Just reheat before serving!
- What is the ideal serving temperature for these toast?
For the best experience, serve the toasts hot out of the skillet, topped with warm apples and a scoop of ice cream!
