PUMPKIN FRENCH TOAST WITH APPLE CIDER SYRUP AND SPICED PECANS
After watching Carla Hall make this on the TV show The Chew on ABC, I knew my family would love it! After several attempts to share the recipe from their web-site unsuccessfully, I am posting it here for safe keeping. Make the pecans ahead (note, they are addictive) and the syrup the day before. Don't be scared of the ingredients, it is a super easy recipe to make and the tastes are so worth every bit of effort! Cook time does not include the cooking time of the pecans or syrup.

Steps:
- Prepare Syrup: Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg in saucepan. Pour in apple and lemon juices. Cook and stir constantly until thickened. Allow to come to a boil, and boil for 1 minute continue to stir constantly. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Serve warm. *This can be made ahead and warmed in the microwave or stove top prior to serving.
- Prepare Pecans: Preheat oven to 250f. Line a baking sheet with silpat or parchment paper. Combine salt and spices. Set aside. In a stainless bowl, beat egg white until frothy. Slowly whisk in the spices. Toss egg mixture with pecans. Spread the pecans on prepared baking sheet.in a single layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, gently stirring every 15 minutes or until the meringue is golden. Allow nuts to cool and dry out. Store in air-tight container.
- Prepare Toast: Combine all ingredients (except the bread) and mix well.
- Option 1) The night before or 6 hours prior, dip the bread slices in the milk mixture and place bread in a glass baking dish (single layer). Store in refrigerator until ready to cook.
- Option 2) Dip bread and allow to soak 2 minutes then fry in skillet.
- Frying the toast: Heat 2 TBS butter with 2 TBS oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place bread slices in the pan and cook until golden on 1 side, approximately 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook 2-3 minutes longer or until golden. Wipe the pan out with paper towel and repeat as necessary.
- *Note: I omitted the oil/butter mix and sprayed the skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
- When ready to serve, dust with powdered sugar (if desired), warm syrup and pecans.

PUMPKIN-SPICED FRENCH TOAST
Steps:
- Step 1In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the cream and pumpkin purée, then the vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice. Pour the batter into a wide, shallow baking dish. Step 2Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Step 3Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until hot. Melt butter or bacon fat in the hot pan, then add 2 slices of the bread. Reduce the heat and fry the slices gently on each side until the bread is crisp and golden brown, and the inside of the bread is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cover the pan while cooking so the bread toasts evenly and thoroughly. Step 4Remove the toast and hold on a baking sheet in a warm oven until all of the slices are toasted. Repeat with the remaining slices. Step 5Slice the toast and divide it among four plates. Dust each serving with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve with warm maple syrup.
