APPLE CINNAMON BUTTER FRENCH TOAST

Nothing I love more than the smell of freshly cooked french toast. It is literally almost intoxicating and tempting that you can ever resist. Today's french toast recipe is not your everyday average kinda french toast. It is rich, decadent, fragrant, spicy, sweet, yet crunchy. Forgive my over excitement, it must be the sugar rush I had when I devoured this breakfast all time favorite meal. Dessert or breakfast? It is really hard to tell when this french toast has all the elements or a rich expensive  dessert. For a recipe that is easy, insanely utterly delicious, and takes only 15 minutes, I do not see why this should not be a daily any time of day bite. That is if you do not mind a sugar overload early in the morning. Which I cannot complain about, I do love my sugar morning high.
