Ingredients

For the french toast:

  • 4 slices brioche or thick-cut bread

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup whole milk

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin purée

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • Butter, for greasing the griddle

For the caramelized apples:

  • 1 apple, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

For topping:

  • Whipped cream

  • Maple syrup

  • Extra cinnamon for dusting (optional)

Directions

  • Prepare the batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

  • Dip the bread: Heat your bella 12" x 22" XL Griddle with Warming Tray to medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin batter, coating both sides well.

  • Cook the French toast: Place coated bread slices on the griddle and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to the warming tray to keep hot.

  • Caramelize the apples: In a small skillet or on the griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add apple slices, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until apples are tender and glazed.

  • Assemble and serve: Stack the French toast on plates. Top with caramelized apples, a generous dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
