Preheat toaster oven to 400°F.
Place bacon and apple slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle both with brown sugar and bake for 15 minutes.
¼ of an apple, cored, and sliced into ¼" slices, 3 strips thick cut bacon, 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Then add pecans, making sure they get into some of that rich bacon fat in the pan, and bake for another 3 minutes.
3 tablespoons pecans, crumbled into small pieces
Remove from oven and roughly chop the bacon into smaller pieces.
3 strips thick cut bacon
Assemble the stuffed french toast. First, spread a layer of mascarpone (or cream cheese) on both slices of bread. Then, layer remaining ingredients (apple slices, bacon, and pecans), and add the second slice of bread on top, like a sandwich.

Preheat a pan on the stove to medium heat.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and milk.

Dip one side of the “sandwich” into the egg mixture, then flip and dip the other side as well.
