Apple Pie French Toast

• FOR THE FILLING:
• 1 whole Apple. Peeled, Cored, Diced.
• 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
• 1/3 cups Water
• 1/4 cups Sugar
• 4 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
• 2 Tablespoons Cream Cheese
• FOR THE TOAST:
• 8 whole To 10 Whole Large Slices Of Day Old Bread
• Apple Butter And Cream Cheese, To Spread (optional)
• 3 whole Eggs
• 1/2 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 Tablespoon Butter, Melted
• Powdered Sugar, Optional, For Topping

1. In a small saucepan, cook apples, lemon juice and water over medium heat for 5 minutes, until apples are tender. While they're cooking, combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl and stir out any lumps. After 5 minutes of cooking, add the sugar mixture into the saucepan along with the cream cheese, turn off heat. Stir well to combine, sauce will thicken as it mixes.
2. If desired, spread a thin layer of cream cheese on half of the bread slices, do the same with apple butter on the other slices. Add a few tablespoons of filling mixture onto the cream cheese side of the bread slices, top with the apple butter slice (apple butter side in), making a sandwich.
3. Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat.
4. Combine eggs, milk, vanilla and butter in a shallow dish and whisk well. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture and cook on the griddle over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
5. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
6. **If you have bread that is thick and sturdy enough, instead of making a sandwich, slit a pocket into each slice of bread and omit the cream cheese spread, but still add a little apple butter to the inside of the pocket. Add filling and gently spread evenly throughout pocket. Cook as directed above.
