Apple Pie French Toast is a sweet breakfast dish that combines the classic flavors of apple pie with the comforting warmth of French toast. The dish is typically made by soaking thick slices of bread in a mixture of eggs, milk, and cinnamon, then cooking them on a griddle or in a frying pan until golden brown.

The apple pie filling is made by cooking diced apples with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until they are tender and caramelized. The filling is then sandwiched between two slices of the French toast, creating a decadent and satisfying breakfast treat.

The dish can be topped with a variety of toppings such as whipped cream, powdered sugar, or maple syrup. It is a popular dish during the fall season when apples are in season and provides a hearty and delicious breakfast or brunch option.
