Ingredients
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons, divided
- Maple syrup
- to taste, for serving
- Apricots
- 2, pitted and sliced
- Peaches
- 2, pitted and sliced

Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until well combined.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are soaked but not overly soggy.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet, cooking until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Once golden, remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and keep warm by covering with aluminum foil.

- Add the sliced peaches and apricots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Serve the French toast warm, topped with the sautéed peaches and apricots.
- Drizzle generously with maple syrup and sprinkle with additional cinnamon, if desired.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream in place of milk.
- Try adding a splash of almond extract for a delightful twist.
- This recipe works well with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries.
