Ingredients
For the prune puree
16 ounces prunes
1/2 cup hot water
For the apple filling
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup prune puree
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup
juice of half a small lemon
4 large Granny Smith apples peeled, cores removed, and thinly sliced
For the baked French toast
5 large eggs
3 tablespoons prune puree
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt heaped
1 1/2 cups whole milk
One pound sliced Brioche bread
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
2 ounces cream cheese cubed into small pieces
To serve
Confectioner's sugar and/or maple syrup optional
Instructions
To make prune puree
Combine the prunes and water in a blender. Pulse to combine, then blend until a smooth, pourable consistency forms, scraping the sides if necessary.
To make the apple filling
In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the prune puree, maple, cinnamon, and lemon juice to the pan and whisk until combined and bubbling.
Add the apple slices and cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are softened and any syrup that has formed is very thick. About 7-8 minutes. Once cooked through, set aside to cool slightly.
To assemble the Baked French Toast
Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously butter a 9 x 13-inch or 3-quart baking dish. Set aside.
In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, prune puree, maple, vanilla extract, and salt. Once completely combined add the milk and whisk until all ingredients are incorporated.
Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture for about 5 seconds, then arrange in an overlapping pattern in the prepared baking dish.
Once all of the slices have been soaked in custard, pour any remaining custard over the slices of bread in the baking dish.
Fill in between the slices of bread with the cooked apples then sprinkle with chopped walnuts and cream cheese.
Wrap in aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Dust with confectioner's sugar right before serving if desired. Serve with maple syrup.
Notes

Upside-Down Apple French Toast with Cranberries and Pecans
RECIPE COURTESY OF TYLER FLORENCE
Level: Easy
Total: 50 min
Prep: 5 min
Cook: 45 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
4 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 loaf challah bread, cut into 1 inch-thick slices
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup light brown sugar, plus more for sprinkling, divided
4 Granny Smith apples
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Confectioners' sugar, garnish, optional
Directions
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 10-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 halves. Remove from heat and gently whisk in the heavy cream. Sprinkle in the pecans, dried cranberries and gently press in the apple halves 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. 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.
Cook’s Note
FYI - if your cast iron skillet is not seasoned, the cranberries will react with the skillet and turn black.
