To serve, invert slices onto plates.,

Steps:

• 1. Combine butter, brown sugar & water in saucepan and heat on medium until bubbling stirring frequently. Pour this mixture into a 9x13" pan and allow to cool 20-30 minutes.
• 2. Place sliced apples over brown sugar mixture in bottom of pan in rows close together, overlapping is fine. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg & raisins if desired.
• 3. Place sliced bread on top of apples. Mix eggs, milk & vanilla and pour over bread.
• 4. Cover & refridgerate overnight or for at least 3 hrs. to let the bread throughly absorb the egg mixture.
• 5. Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until golden and crispy on top. Invert onto platter for serving. If any apples stick you can remove them with a spatula and just arrange on top.
• 6. Creme topping is optional but delicious! Just whip all ingredients on high until thickened and serve a generous spoonful on top of each serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F.
• Peel, core, and cut each apple into 3/4 inch thick wedges. Place the apple wedges in a large mixing bowl, and toss gently with the lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Peel the bananas, and slice them crosswise 3/4 inch thing. Add the bananas to the apples and toss to coat evenly with lemon juice. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the fruits and toss well to combine.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fruit and saute until tender, about 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar and maple syrup and cook until the sugar is dissolved, 30 seconds longer, remove from heat.
• Pour the contents into a lightly buttered, non-reactive, 9- inch round baking dish. In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk and vanilla. Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture just to moisten (both sides), then place them over the fruit in a single layer in the pan, making sure to cover the fruit entirely. Pour any leftover egg mixture over the bread. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. (This can be prepared up to this point in advance, covered and refrigerated overnight)
• Bake the French toast, uncovered until the top is golden, 30-35 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Place a serving tray over the pan, and carefully turn them over to unmold the French toast. Spoon any syrup or fruit left in the pan over the bread, and serve at once.

Steps:

• In bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg.
• Arrange bread on large rimmed baking sheet; pour egg mixture over top.
• Turn bread over, let soak until liquid is absorbed, 10 minutes.
• (make-ahead: cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.) Spread butter in 13x9 inch glass baking dish; sprinkle evenly with brown sugar.
• Arrange apples in slightly overlapping rows on top; sprinkle with raspberries.
• Arrange bread on top.
• Bake in 375F oven until puffed and golden, about 35 minutes.
• Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Cut between bread slices to seperate.
• Using large lifter, invert along with apples and raspberries on each plate.
• Variation: Peach-Upside Down French Toast.
• Replace nutmeg with cinnamon.
• Replace apples with 2 cans (each 14 oz/398ml) sliced peaches, drained.
• Omit raspberries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a flat dish, crack eggs and add milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined then lay challah slices in mixture to coat and absorb it all, turning occasionally.
• Set a 14-inch skillet, seasoned cast iron if you have, over medium heat. Add the butter and 1 cup sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has melted and caramelized, about 8 minutes.
• While the sugar is melting, peel apples, core and cut into slices. Remove the sugar mix from heat and gently whisk in the heavy cream. Sprinkle in the pecans, dried cranberries and gently press in the apple slices so there is a flat surface.
• Lay soaked slices of challah over the top so it is completely covered - you should be able to arrange the large slices and small slices so there are no gaps - cut some of the slices if you have too. Sprinkle the top with some brown sugar and place into the preheated oven. Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden and puffy.
• When done, allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes then invert onto a large plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve.
• Chef's Note: FYI - if your cast iron skillet is not seasoned, the cranberries will react with the skillet and turn black.
