How to Make Cranberry Apple Holiday French Toast
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Add 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 2 medium) and 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries to the baking dish.
- Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly with the brown sugar mixture.
- Arrange 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of challah bread, brioche, or Texas toast, sliced into 1-inch thick slices, on top of the apple and cranberry mixture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs (or equivalent egg substitute), 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are well-soaked.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- When ready to bake, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with powdered sugar and whipped cream, if desired.
