- 1/4 cup

Directions
- Step 1 Make apple pie filling: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg if using, and salt, and stir to combine.
- Step 2Add apples and cook, stirring often, until apples are tender and sugar is dissolved and syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Step 3Cut a 3" to 4” wide slit into the bottom of each slice of brioche to create a deep pocket. Fill each pocket with apple mixture.
- Step 4In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla until combined. Working one slice at a time, dip bread until fully soaked, 45 seconds.
- Step 5In a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Cook 2 slices bread at a time until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat to cook all slices, adding more butter to pan if needed.
- Step 6Place cinnamon sugar on a large shallow plate and coat the cooked French toast in cinnamon sugar. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
