  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Powdered sugar

Directions

In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, salt, pepper, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour custard mixture into a sheet pan and place bread into mixture. Soak each side thoroughly.

 

Mix the applesauce, maple syrup, honey and lemon juice to make syrup.
