For the Caramelized Apples:

Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Dip the Bread: Soak each slice of bread in the mixture, ensuring even coating.
- Cook the French Toast: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Caramelize the Apples: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5 minutes until apples are soft and caramelized.

Notes
- For extra crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts on top.
- For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for almond milk and use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar.
- Pair with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-like treat!
