Ingredients

Cinnamon Apples:

  • 1 large apple peeled and chopped
  • 1.5 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon

French Toast:

  • 3 slices milk bread or any soft, thick white bread
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or any filling of choice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • Neutral oil for deep-frying (enough to submerge the toast halfway)

To Serve:

  • Maple syrup or condense milk
  • Powdered sugar optional

Instructions

  • Make the Cinnamon Apples: 
    In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft, released juices, and caramelized. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Assemble the Toast: 
    Take three slices of milk bread. Spread peanut butter between two layers to form a sandwich with three stacked slices (peanut butter in between each).
    Optional: Trim off the crusts for that classic HK-style look.

  • Prepare the Batter: 
    In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Dip the sandwich into the mixture, making sure all sides are well coated but not soaked through.
  • Deep-Fry the Toast: 
    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat (about 1–1½ inches deep). Carefully fry the toast for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
