French Toast with apple and pecan praline

This French Toast recipe is a special treat for a Sunday morning. If you have

company just double the recipe.

2 slices white bread

2 eggs

1/8 cup milk

2 tablespoons orange liqueur

a few drops real vanilla essence

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon butter (divided)

1 med. tart apple - peeled, cored, chopped

1/4 cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup hot water

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

Arrange bread slices in a lightly greased baking dish or similar container.

Beat together eggs, milk, liqueur, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour mixture over

bread and allow to stand for 10 minutes.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet; add apples and sauté for 5 minutes.

Stir in pecans and saute an additional 5 minutes. Stir in water and sugar and

cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly; remove from heat and set aside.

Place coated bread in a greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook until

browned on bottom, flip, and brown other side.

Serve apple mixture over French toast.

Toast Butter Cake

Here is something fast for your sweet tooth. This is not really a recipe, but it

is easy to do and taste good.

Take one or two slices of regular white bread and toast them just a little bit.

Spread the slices with butter and dust them with sugar or if you like with a

sugar-cinnamon mix. Sprinkle some almond slices on top. Put on a cookie sheet

and broil until a nice golden brown. The taste is a little bit like a German

Buttercake.
