Baked French Toast with Apples and Cherries (#Recipe)

Instructions

2. Butter a 13 x 9 inch glass dish
3. In a large bowl, mix apples, cherries, nuts, melted butter, ½ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon salt and the nutmeg. Mix until the fruit is well coated. Place them in the buttered pan
4. Sprinkle the fruit mixture with the brown sugar and gently mix
5. in a shallow bowl, add eggs, cream, granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon and vanilla and mix with a whisk until well blended.
6. Dip the bread one slice at a time in the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides. Place the bread over the fruit, overlapping the slices a little bit until all the fruit is covered.
7. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the bread/fruit and cover the pan with foil.
8. Heat the grill or oven to 400 degrees and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
9. Let cool for 5 minutes
10. The easiest way to serve this is to actually flip it upside down! Use a sharp knife to loosen the bread from the edges of the pan. Place a cookie sheet over your 13 x 9 inch pan and hold on TIGHT to keep the two together. Then, invert them
11. so your bread/fruit ends up fruit side up on the cookie sheet.
12. Place french toast with fruit on everyone's plates and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
