French Toast with Cinnamon Apples (Recipe)
French toast does not have to be a weekend treat. Make 8-10 pieces and freeze the slices in a freezer storage bag (separate the slices with wax paper). When a French toast morning arrives, take the French toast slices out of the freezer, pop them into the toaster oven and get the syrup (100% maple, no high fructose corn syrup) and apples ready!

Ingredients:
3-4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
8-10 pieces whole wheat bread
Cooking spray or 1 tsp butter
Maple syrup
Cinnamon apples (recipe below)

Directions:
Heat a flat, non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray or melt the butter and swirl around to cost the bottom of the pan. In a flat-bottomed bowl or rimmed dish whisk together egg, milk and cinnamon. Working one slice at a time, dip both sides of the bread slice in the egg mixture and place in the warm pan. Brown both sides of the bread using a spatula to flip the bread slice over (about 2 minutes on each side). Place on plate. Serve with cinnamon apples and maple syrup.

Cinnamon Apples
Ingredients:
2 Golden Delicious apples
Dash of cinnamon

Directions:
Wash, peel, and core the apples. Cut the apples into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the apple pieces in a plastic bag and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over them. Close the bag and shake it so the cinnamon is distributed evenly over all of the slices. Place the apples in a microwave-safe dish and cook them in the microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes. Let them stand for 5 minutes. They are done if a fork slides into them easily. Can be frozen.
