Servings: 2 Serving
Calories: 327kcal
Equipment
- 1 cast iron pan
Ingredients
- 1 Large Apple Fritter - Stale (Use one Voyageur fritter, or two from Tim Hortons)
- ½ cup Milk
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- Pinch Ground Cinnamon Optional
- Butter oil, or pan spray.
Instructions
- Slice the apple fritter into ¾" thick slices, set aside. (You can do this the night before to let them dry out a bit more, if you like).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (If using - we didn’t for this batch).
- Gently place the fritter slices in the egg mixture. Allow to sit for a few minutes, then flip them and allow them to sit for another few minutes.
- Heat your griddle or a nonstick pan over medium heat - or a low campfire.
- Melt a bit of butter in your pan, swirl a little oil, or spray generously with olive oil.
- Add your soaked slices of apple fritter to the griddle or pan in a single layer.
- Cook - covered - for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
If your campfire is too hot / the french toast is browning too fast: remove the pan from the fire- still covered - place on the ground, and let it sit for a few minutes to finish cooking all the way through.
