Ingredients

• 6 thick slices Panettone
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
• 0 Maple syrup (optional for serving)
• 0 Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 3

Dip one slice of panettone into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated but not overly soggy, then place it on the skillet.

Step 4

Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. Set the cooked slices aside and keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 6

Add the dried cranberries to the skillet with the apples and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve the panettone French toast warm, topped with the caramelized apples and cranberries. Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
