Preparation time: 15 minutes

cooking time: 10 mins

Servings: 2 servings

ingredients:

1 medium-sized cooking apple (approx. 100g after preparation)

10g Flora 100% natural ingredients

1 tbsp dark brown sugar

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

1 large egg, beaten

60ml semi-skimmed milk

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 thick slices of bread

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

20g Flora ProActiv Light

7. Quickly add the coated bread to the pan. Repeat with the second slice.

8. Fry on both sides for 2-3 minutes until the bread turns brown.

9. Place on a plate and spread Flora ProActiv on the toast, then add the cooked fruits.
