List of Ingredients



• 9 large eggs
  
• 2-1/4 cups milk
  
• 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp Grand Marnier
  
• 1-1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
  
• 1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• 1 lb. day-old French bread, ends trimmed, cut into 16 (1-inch thick) slices
  
• 10 Tbsp butter (approx.)
  
• 1-1/2 lbs. tart apples (about 3 medium), peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
  
• 1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
  
• 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  
• 1 cup hot water
  






Instructions



1. Whisk eggs to blend in medium bowl. Whisk in milk, Grand Marnier, vanilla and cinnamon. Arrange bread in single layer in shallow dish. Pour egg mixture over bread. Let stand until egg mixture is absorbed, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes.
   
   
2. Melt 7 tablespoons butter in heavy, large skillet over medium heat. Add apples and pecans and saute 5 minutes. Add sugar and 1 cup hot water and cook until mixture thickens, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
   
   
3. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in another heavy, large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add bread to skillet and cook until crisp and golden brown, adding more butter as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plates and keep warm.
   
   Spoon apple mixture over French toast and serve.
