Ingredients
1/3 cup apple butter
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 slices Italian bread, 3/4 inch thick
1/4 cup maple syrup
Butter or cooking spray for the skillet
Additional powdered sugar for topping (optional)
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, apple butter, and powdered sugar, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the apple butter cream cheese mixture onto one side of a bread slice. Top with another bread slice, pressing gently to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread and filling to make 6 sandwiches total.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter or spray with cooking spray.
Working with one sandwich at a time, dip both sides of the sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated but not oversaturated. Place on the hot skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the underside is golden brown.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. The filling should be warm and the bread should be cooked through. Transfer to a serving plate and repeat with remaining sandwiches.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining apple butter with the maple syrup. Microwave for about 45 seconds, stirring once halfway through, until warmed through.
Drizzle the warm apple butter maple syrup over the stuffed French toast and garnish with additional powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately.
