Stephanies Kitchen – 2008 August 26

Oh my goodness. I am still licking my fingers on this one. Delicious. Masterpiece. That’s all I can say about this amazing treat. I decided to call these French Toast Cups because it has all the ingredients I use in my french toast, plus apples. Yum. My kids licked the plate clean. And let me tell you, that does not happen very often. Apples have been on my mind lately. I have been racking my brain trying to come up with some creative recipes using them, and then I remembered a bread pudding recipe that I saw and I decided to do something similar but with my own spin. The sauteed cinnamon apples were the perfect addition. Of course topped with a sugar glaze, it is the perfect treat or breakfast or brunch or whatever you want to eat it for! I hope you all have a lovely week and I will be back soon with some amazingly delicious recipes!
