½ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg
¼ tsp. salt
1 can apple pie filling
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 ½ lbs. Cortland apples (peeled, cored and sliced)

French Toast Batter

½ C. half and half
8 eggs
In a large bowl, mix seasonings with vanilla and half and half. Whip in eggs. Slice a loaf of Italian bread into twelve 1-inch thick slices (save ends for bread crumbs).
Heat frying pan or electric griddle on medium/high and add 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine, moving it around to coat the surface.
