Cut the skin off two honeycrisp apples and core them using an apple cutter.

Slice the apples into even pieces and place them in a bowl.

Add the juice of half a lemon to the apples to prevent browning.

Pour in 1/2 cup of orange juice over the apples.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt to the bowl with the apples.

Stir the mixture and transfer it to a pot with 1 tablespoon of softened butter.

Cook the apple mixture on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the wet mixture for the French toast by cracking 2 eggs into a separate bowl.

Add the eggs to a larger bowl and pour in 1/2 cup of half and half.

Whisk the egg mixture until combined.

Add fresh bacon bits to the egg mixture for flavor.

Heat an electric skillet for cooking the French toast.

Use raisin cinnamon bread for the French toast, noting that it already contains cinnamon and sugar.

Soak the bread slices in the egg and bacon mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Cook the soaked bread in the electric skillet until golden brown on both sides.
