French Toast & Cider Caramel

Preparation

1. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and apple cider. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture turns a rich amber colour. Remove from the heat and whisk in the double cream. Add the cold butter and whisk again until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture, coating well.
3. In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat, then cook the soaked bread slices for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden.
