So one thing you should know about me is that I really like pie. To the extent where I sometimes just sprawl myself on the bed/floor/kitchen table (you get the idea, I’m not picky) and bemoan to Kyle that I just want a slice of apple pie rightnow. There may or may not be some dramatic arm flailing going on as well.
Another example:
I’ll be in the library. Kyle is sitting next to me deep in thought about his engineering endeavors. I tap him. He looks over at me with adoration overflowing in his eyes: his heart burning with love for me. I whisper seductively in his ear… I just want… Pie.
And again:
Relaxing in bed watching some Netflix or videos of babies laughing (Kyle just can’t get enough…right). We’re eating S’mores ice cream because I have the attention span of a 3 year old and can’t focus my attention solely on one thing… Like eva. Also, I like ice cream. Pie? Anyways. I simultaneously complain to him about how much I want pie while shoveling mini marshmallow-laden deliciousness into my mouth.
If you haven’t gotten the point yet, I’m a pie monster. Ahem. Connoisseur.
So this: Salted Caramel Apple French Toast
No, really. Seriously.
Because sometimes you just don’t have time to make pie. It’s the sad, horrible truth about life. The sooner you learn to accept it, the better.
But this. Now this can help satisfy any pie craving I have. You’ve got a dreamy supah-fast salted caramel sauce. Even dreamier? You cook the apples right into the caramel and they taste exactly like a caramel apple (I wonder why), but with a higher caramel-to-apple ratio. As in a super thin slice of apple completely drenched in caramel goodness. OHHHHHHHH MY.
And then, guess what! You turn up the flavor volume even more by using cinnamon bread as your base. If you can’t find the sweet bread at your grocery store… Well I guess you should just go home and cry. Just kiddin’. Regular thick country-style bread will suit ya just fine. Just sprinkle it with some cinnamon and you’ve hopped on the tastebud train. Choo chooooo.
You’re welcome.
I’m so happy that I’m not the only one who loves pie, most specifically, apple pie, that much. You wanna know what my favorite pie is? The crust! I could eat pie crust literally all day and night if it wouldn’t make it a million pounds
Ohhh I LOVE the crust when it gets a bit of the gooey apple-filling on it. To die for :D.
Ahhh now I want pie! I don’t suppose my roommate would like to make some for me at 10:30 at night…
Ooooh this looks good! I am yet to try French toast…sad face!
Lol I laughed at your seductively whispering you just want pie 😉 I feel that way about wine and cheese!
Your recipe looks and sounds so delicious! I have not had french toast for a while but that needs to change ASAP!
Food=pure seduction hahah!
omg, I want this for breakfast.. *drrrrrooools*
What’s your favorite kind of pie? Mine would have to be strawberry rhubarb!!!
I’ve actually never tried strawberry rhubarb! Sounds so exotic to me haha!
OH MY GOSH CHRISTINE. I can’t even explain how good this looks right now. Like I am making is this weekend for brunch. Ahhhh I can’t get over this!! Cinnamon bread… salted caramel… omg can I marry this?! haha.
Fun fact: my nickname growing up was Pie… no joke. I’ve been a pie eater since I was born
Ohh enjoy!! So much sweet goodness in every bite… Wish I had some in front of me right now ;). LOVE the nickname! So cute
This looks delicious, Christine.

This sounds amazing-the perfect breakfast for my sweet tooth!
Oh my goodness! This looks crazy delicious. I cannot wait to try this
oohhh wow! This looks incredible! I can’t wait to try it out. it sounds to die for.
Wowza, these look delicious. I’m a HUGE apple lover and pie lover. I eat apples daily and pie is definitely the best kind of dessert. YUM. Pumpkin is my favorite I think, but apple is a close second (;
I feel ya on the love for pie! When I smell my mom’s freshly baked homemade apple pie, I can’t help but drool. 😀
Caramelized apples on top of fresh toast? With cinnamon bread? Umm.. how much do I have to pay you to be my own personal chef? 😉
This sounds amazing! I mean how can you not like it with cinnamon bread, apples and french toast all in one dish.
You are too cute and I can’t get over how fabulous your pictures and your blog looks! I just want to visit all my friends in SB and pick up on some of your tips!
