Gluten free peanut butter and apple french toast

I discovered the sublime combination of peanut butter and apples when I stumbled upon a popcorn snack that combined the two. I am not sure why, but the first thing that came to my mind was making a french toast with it. It turned out to be a success. I also did a ricotta-nutella-strawberry french toast which was also fabulous. As always, when it comes to food the options are endless and all you have to do is take a look in the fridge and decide.


Ingredients:

4 slices of your favorite gluten free bread

2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup peanut butter, slightly warmed in the microwave
1 granny smith apple cored and sliced to thin slices
2 tbsp honey

Butter

Core the apple and slice it thin with a mandolin (or a knife if you don't have one). Spread on a plate and sprinkle with a little lemon juice.

Mix the eggs, milk and vanilla extract in a container that will be flat and big enough for the whole sandwich to fit.

Spread warmed peanut butter over both slices of bread. Spread a thin layer of honey over the peanut butter. Put a few slices of apple and a second drizzle of honey.

Heat about 1/2 tbsp of butter in a non-stick pan.

Dip the sandwich in the egg mixture and carefully put in pan. Cook until golden brown, turn over with spatula and cook for a few more minutes.

Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and enjoy.

Options: add cinnamon, dates or banana instead of apple.
