1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins |
italian or french bread cut into slices- about 6 to 8 slices |

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract |

1. Combine brown sugar, butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
2. Add apples and cranberries: toss to coat well. Spread apple mixture evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.
3. Arrange slices of bread on top.
4. Mix eggs, milk, vanilla and remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon until well blended.
