Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup milk or milk alternative
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium golden apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
Maple syrup for drizzling
Powdered sugar for dusting
Cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy and then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
Place the coated bread onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
In the last minute of cooking, add the sliced golden apples to the pan.
Once done, remove the French toast fingers from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.
Drizzle with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar, and sprinkle with extra cinnamon before serving.
