Here is a recipe for Apple Pecan French Toast Cups:
Ingredients:
2 apples, peeled and diced
4 cups French bread, cut into small 2-inch cubes
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp butter
1/3 cup chopped pecans
2 tbsp water
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the apples and cook until they’re soft, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples, add 2 tablespoons of water, and cook until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and maple syrup.
Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture and toss to coat.
Spoon the bread mixture into the muffin cups, pressing down slightly to make sure it’s packed in well.
Spoon the apple mixture over the bread in each muffin cup.
Bake the French toast cups for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the custard is set.
Allow the French toast cups to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm, garnished with additional pecans and maple syrup if desired.
