Start by preparing the granola crunch cinnamon french toast.

Take some raisin brioche bread for a buttery soft texture.

Grind granola in a food processor to make it finer.

Prepare a warm apple compote with pumpkin butter and fall seasonings.

For the french toast batter, combine eggs, sugar, and pure vanilla extract in a bowl.

Add about 1/2 cup of milk to the egg mixture and mix well.

Sprinkle in some cinnamon and additional sugar to sweeten the batter.

Soak the brioche bread in the egg mixture for about 2 minutes before cooking.

In a pan, sauté Honeycrisp apples until they hold their shape, adding autumn spice blend and pure maple syrup.

Let the maple syrup caramelize with the apples in the pan.

Dip the soaked brioche in the ground granola to coat it before cooking.

Cook the granola-coated brioche in a pan with butter, adding more butter as needed for each batch.

Once cooked, place the french toast over the sautéed apples.

Spread pumpkin butter or apple butter on the french toast like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Drizzle with more maple syrup and add extra granola on top for crunch.
