Cranberry Apple Holiday French Toast image

This recipe was given to me by a co-worker several years ago, but I just found and tried it for the first time, and was amazed with the flavor! It's a great Christmas morning dish, or an easy day-after-Thanksgiving breakfast for guests. The Splenda and egg substitute make for a bit health-friendlier breakfast, too.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup Splenda brown sugar blend (may sub. brown sugar if you don't like sugar substitute)
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, melted
3 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
3 -4 apples, cored and thinly sliced (braeburn or other tart type)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
1 1/2 cups egg substitute
1 1/2 cups milk (I use 1%)
1 tablespoon vanilla
powdered sugar (optional) or whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine brown sugar, butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a 9x13 baking dish. Add apples and cranberries. Toss to coat well. Spread evenly in pan.
  • Arrange slices of bread atop apple mixture.
  • Mix egg substitute, milk, vanilla and remaining cinnamon until well blended.
  • Pour egg mixture over bread, soaking it completely.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 1-2 hrs if not made ahead).
  • When ready to bake: Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
  • Uncover an bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let stand for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Serve warm with powdered sugar, whipped cream to taste (We prefer a very light dusting of powdered sugar for the kids and plain for the adults).
