directions: 'Preheat oven to 350F.


  In a pie pan, crack the eggs and add milk, vanilla & cinnamon.  Whisk until well
  combined then lay bread slices in mixture to coat and absorb it all, turning occasionally.


  Set a 10” seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat.  Add the butter and 1 C.
  sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has melted and caramelized,
  about 8 min.  While the sugar is melting, peel apples, core and cut into halves.  Remove
  the pan from the heat and gently whisk in the cream.  Sprinkle in the pecans,
  dried cranberries and gently press in the apple halves so there is a flat surface.  Lay
  soaked layers of challah over the top so it is completely covered.  Sprinkle the
  top with some brown sugar and place in the preheated oven.  Bake in the middle
  of the oven for 40-45 min. until the top is golden and puffy.


  When done, allow to cool for 10 min. then invert onto a large plate.'
