Brandy Soaked French Toast with Apple Compote

This serves 4-6 people since a half loaf yields four to six pieces of bread. It depends on how big of eaters you’ve got in your family. We were just fine with one piece per person – these are BIG portions. If you think that won’t be enough for 4-6 people or have more than 4-6 people, double the recipe.
