I made these this morning, and it's a winner. I didn't make the candied walnuts, and used Ida reds as they are what I have on hand.

French Toast and Apples (closetcooking blog)

2 granny smith apples (peeled,cored and sliced)

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup water

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

4 slices bread

butter

1/4 cup candied walnuts

1. Simmer the apples, butter, sugar, flour cinnamon and water until the apples are tender, about 10-15 minutes and set aside.

2. Mix the eggs, milk and vanilla in a wide dish.

3. Dip the bread into the egg mixture to coat on both sides.

4. Melt some butter in a pan and fry the slices of bread until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

5. Serve the french toast covered in the caramelized apples along with some candied walnuts.

Candied Walnuts

1 1/2 cups walnut halves

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (optional)

1. Spread the walnuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet.

2. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until nice and toasted, about 5 minutes, and set aside. (Watch them carefully.)

3. Melt the sugar in a sauce pan and wait for it to turn a nice shade of amber.

4. Add the walnuts and mix to coat.

5. Pour the walnuts onto a sheet of parchment paper, quickly separate them, sprinkle them with the salt and let them cool.
