Ingredients

1 cup Low-fat or nonfat milk

4 Large eggs

2 teaspoons Firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon Vanilla

1 Granny Smith apple (about 1/2 lb.)

about 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

about 2 tablespoons Butter or margarine

12 slices Egg or white bread (about 1 lb. total)

2/3 cup Maple syrup

1/2 cup Vanilla-flavor nonfat yogurt

1/2 cup Smooth peanut butter

1/2 cup Granola

Preparation

1. In a shallow pan such as a 8- or 9-inch pie pan, whisk to blend milk, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

2. Rinse apple, core, and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices. In a small bowl, mix apple slices with lemon juice.

3. In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Dip 1 bread slice at a time in milk mixture, turn over, and transfer to frying pan without crowding. Cook each batch, turning to brown both sides, about 6 minutes total. As done, set in a single layer on a 14- by 17-inch baking sheet and keep warm in a 200° oven. Add remaining butter to frying pan as needed to cook successive batches.

4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup maple syrup with yogurt.

5. Also, in a 1-cup glass measure, mix remaining 1/3 cup maple syrup and peanut butter. Heat in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until warm, about 30 seconds, stirring once or twice.

6. Place 2 slices of French toast on each plate. Drain apple slices and lay fruit equally onto toast; sprinkle with granola. Spoon maple-yogurt and peanut butter sauces equally onto portions.
