French Toast with Apple Cranberry Sauce

We adapted this recipe from Recipes with Essential Oils.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup grape or apple juice
  • 1 cup berry preserves
  • 1 red apple, chopped
  • 4 drops Orange essential oil, divided
  • 3 drops Cinnamon essential oil, divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 drop Clove essential oil
  • 1 drop Ginger essential oil
  • 12 slices of white bread

Directions

  • In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, juice, preserves, and apple cubes. Cook over low heat until the mixture comes to a low simmer.
  • Remove from heat and stir in 2 drops orange essential oil and 1 drop cinnamon bark essential oil. Set aside.
  • Heat griddle to 375 degrees.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the eggs, milk, butter, vanilla, clove essential oil, ginger essential oil, plus 2 drops cinnamon bark essential oil and 2 drops orange essential oil. Stir well with a whisk.
  • Dip bread into the egg mixture and allow extra mixture to drip off before cooking on the griddle.
  • Turn each slice and cook for about 3 – 4 minutes on each side until bread is a deep, golden brown color.
  • Spoon apple mixture over the top and serve immediately.
