Instructions

TO MAKE THE FRENCH TOAST:

Whisk together all the ingredients (except for the bread and butter) into a large bowl and set aside so that everything marries together and activates, about 5 minutes.
Preheat griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, melting it.
Dip 1 Hawaiian roll into the batter, soaking it in for a few seconds on each side. Place slice unto the heated griddle, cooking on each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all french toast have been made. Set aside.

TO MAKE THE SAUTED APPLES:

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter and heat until melted. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and sea salt and stir until combined and everything begins to bubble a bit, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the diced apples and toss until well coated and cook for 5-6 minutes, until tender and the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.

TO SERVE:

To serve—stack french toast atop each other, spoon a generous amount of sautéed apples, followed by sifted powdered sugar, and/or drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.
Bon Appetit!

Notes

BREAD: Instead of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, you can also use organic sweet rolls, brioche bread, challah or ciabatta bread or any other rustic bread. In most cases, day old bread works best!
WHAT PLANT-BASED MILKS ARE GOOD FOR THIS RECIPE? You can always use your fave or one of the following: Almond, coconut milk, homemade oat milk (froths/foams VERY WELL), homemade cashew milk, flax milk, potato milk, quinoa milk, etc.
VEGAN BRIOCHE: To make your own vegan brioche bread, see my latest recipe.
