Directions

• Apple & Cream Cheese Fillings
• Heat 3 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the foaming subsides, add apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples have softened and are beginning to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon over apples. Cook until apples are golden, about 2 minutes more. Transfer apples to bowl and let cool.
• In a separate bowl, stir cream cheese with remaining 4 teaspoons granulated sugar until smooth.
• French Toast
• Add Cinnamon Toast Crunch® to food processor. Crunch into small pieces, then transfer to a large bowl.
• In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and half & half.
• Carefully slice a deep pocket into each slice of bread. Spread cream cheese mixture into each pocket, then fill with cooked apples.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium/low heat for 5 minutes.
• Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture. Coat both sides. Let excess drip off then transfer to the Cinnamon Toast Crunch® bowl. Cover the bread with cereal pieces, gently pressing into each side.
• Melt about 1 tablespoon of butter in the frying pan. Place the bread slice into pan. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
• Between each slice, remove any cereal crumbs from pan and add more butter.
• Repeat process for all bread slices. Cooking time may decrease as pan gets hotter.
• Dust with powdered sugar.
