Apple maple french toast

Peel and dice one apple. Put the apple into a pot on the stove with 3 TBS lemon juice and 3 TBS water.

Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer 15 minutes. For the last 5 minutes, uncover and let slow boil. When done, add 3 TBS maple syrup and keep warm.

In a dish, crack the eggs, add the milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

Beat well.

Add your Nature’s Pride bread, dousing in the egg completely.

Heat large frying pans on medium heat. Add Smart Balance (about 1 TBS to cook each batch of toast). Let melt. When hot, add bread to pan. Do not over crowd. Let cook 3 minutes.

In the meantime, using your 2nd apple, peel and core, cut into slices.

When the bread has cooked 3 min. on first side, add about 2 apple slices per piece of bread in the pan. Turn over the bread to let cook on the other side with the apple slices.

After 3 minutes, remove to a plate.

Serve with 2 TBS of the apple maple syrup and about 2 slices of fried apple.
