If you're sauteeing the apples, make sure that the apples are firm - I did this the first time around with the regular Washington apples, and they were kinda mushier than what I was used to. Golden Delicious apples are pretty good for this recipe.

Prepared this wonderful recipe, added cinnamon to the apples and also to the batter for the french bread.......mmmmmmmmm!!! This is truly an easy and wonderful twist to a classic breakfast. Might I suggest that it would also be good for a dessert. Very filling, recommend no more than two slices of french bread per person, probably get away with only one per person. The caramel sauce is no more sweeter than traditional maple syrup.
If using this for a dessert, as opposed to a breakfast, recommend a scoop of vanilla ice cream to accompany it!!

It's easy to make a great french toast even with fresh bread. Simply lightly toast the bread and allow to cool before dipping into the egg mixture.

I agree about making this recipe into a dessert. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, with perhaps some warmed brandy (which you can then cautiously flame) would be perfect.

I usually make this when we have company that stay overnight- it's a great surprise in the mornings! If I have leftover caramel sauce (I almost always do) I keep it in the refrigerator in a sealed container until the next time we have guests or until I make a dessert that needs it. It keeps really well, and everyone comments that it tastes so much better than store-bought!

when i ve'been to paris i taiste it and it was very good..but a litlle havy...
