Panettone French Toast With Apples and Cranberrries

"Panettone made into a delectable French toast with apples and cranberries what could be better. The recipe for pantone- a sweet bread made with soft raisins and candied fruit peels-was developed by a young Milianese baker during the 15th century. Antonio(panettone means Tony's bread) created this bread to impress his fiancee during the holiday season. Note:This is made ahead and refrigerated over night."

  1. I have made this recipe for Christmas morning the past 2 years and it is a big hit. I plan on making this our Christmas morning tradition. It's so easy to have it made ahead of time and just pop it in the oven the next morning. It is delicous and makes the house smell so good.
     
  2. Yum! This was delicious. The fruity flavor is fantastic. I had a small panettone loaf so I made a half recipe. This recipe could be used as a dessert also. Add a dollop of whipped cream, like I did.
     
  3. I had a Panettone leftover from Christmas that I needed to use and found this recipe yesterday. It was excellent! I did not have cream (so used all milk) or cranberries (used currants instead) and the only apples I had were galas. I also added about 1 tsp of grated nutmeg (personal preference). I did cut the panettone into cubes as it was older and a little crumbly, so an overnight recipe was perfect. I will use this again. It makes your house smell great all day! I plan to try it over the holidays using cranberries, it sounds awesome.<br/><br/>Update: 1/2/14: Here it is, 5 years later, and I'm still making this during the holidays and it's still a big hit. I do use the cramberries as they are abundant this time of year. It's now become a tradition, and a delicious one at that!
