Ingredients

1 loaf Texas toast
1 cup whole milk
3 eggs
¾ cup sugar
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
Maple syrup for serving
Butter as needed

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine whole milk, eggs, ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Cut each slice of Texas toast into even strips, about 1-inch thick.
Quickly dunk each toast stick in the milk mixture. Do not over soak or the bread will be too soggy
Lightly butter the air fryer basket. Air Fry at 350°F / 180°C for 7-8 Minutes until golden brown. Do not turn during the cooking process. Continue air frying in batches until complete.
Meanwhile, combine remaining sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large bowl. Once the French toast sticks are finished cooking, immediately dunk each in the sugar spice mixture. If you wait too long, the sugar won’t stick to the toast.
Serve with maple syrup, honey, and more pumpkin pie spice!
