Quirky breakfast for lunch

Hi there! Its that time again, time to cook something out of my wonderful newlywed cookbook! For today I decided to do breakfast for dinner, well more like a late lunch, or early supper. I think Im going to call it sunch, or lupper. My husband was working nights, so that means he slept until it was time to eat! Breakfast was just a perfect idea. For my lupper (yes I chose lupper) I decided to make us Topsy Turvy Apple French Toast! This dish was so fun to make! It smelled delicious while I made it too! I had a hard time keeping the apples from my mouth once I poured all the cinnamon on top!

To make this yummy dish you'll need: 4 tblsp spoons butter, 2 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, sliced), 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1 tblsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 3 large eggs, 3/4 cup whole milk, 1 tblsp vanilla extract, large (texas style) bread, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
NOW that thats out of the way, I preheated the oven to 350 degrees, and greased a 9 inch pan, then in a skillet I melted that butter, and put those delicious apples in the skillet, added the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cream. I cooked it until the apples were soft, and delicious and I ate them! haha BUT not all of them, the rest I placed evenly in the pan, and poured any mixture left on top of the apples. In a large bowl I stirred together the eggs, milk, and vanilla. I soaked the bread and then placed them on top of the apples. I then sprinkled the raisins, and walnuts and placed it in the oven for about 35 minutes. Once it was ready, I "topsy turvy'd" them into another dish, so that the apples were on top! I placed whip cream on top, sprinkled some cinnamon/sugar (so it looked pretty) and I also fixed us up some turkey bacon, and you know, some chocolate milk!!

P.S  I did have a problem with the bread, it was a little too soggy for my taste, and I really didn't care much for the raisins. So, I decided next tim Im just going to make the toast on the griddle, and place the apples on top as a garnish, and nix those pesky raisins! My house is still smelling yummy though!



I also made us a dessert, it was suppose to be chocolate dipped key lime popsicle's! Turns out, I forgot about the popsicle sticks, and also needed an aluminum pan! So, I did what any other girl would do, I made us a frozen key lime pie! I actually made homemade graham cracker crust! The filling was super easy (well except for the lime zest, my grater didn't do its job so I had to make shift by finely chopping the zest from the lime) I made a chocolate "frosting", which was suppose to be the dipping sauce, but I used it as frosting! I placed it in the freezer, and it turned out really well.  Im loving trying new things!
                                                               

 

This was a really fun lupper to make :) Im excited about next weekend though,Im making one of my favorite meals EVER, but with a twist! I really hope it turns out, I've been blessed with no burnt foods, YET! (I'm keeping my fingers crossed) xoBritney
