Ingredients:

  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4 3 x1/2-inch strips orange peel
  • 4 3 x1/2-inch strips lemon peel
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 vanilla bean , split lengthwise
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 31/2 cups whole milk
  • 2/3 cup plus 8 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 4 x4x1-inch slices egg bread
  • 6 tbsp (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

Directions:

  1. For poached apples: Combine first 7 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes. Add apples; cover and simmer until tender, about 12 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer apples to bowl. Boil syrup in saucepan until reduced to 1 1/4 cups, about 10 minutes. Add syrup to bowl with apples. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  2. For french toast: Whisk eggs, yolks, milk, 2/3 cup sugar, vanilla, and salt in 15x10x2-inch baking dish. Place bread in single layer in egg mixture; spoon egg mixture over bread and let stand until soaked through, about 3 minutes.
  3. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in each of 2 large nonstick skillets over medium heat. Sprinkle each skillet with 2 tablespoons sugar. Add 3 bread slices to each skillet; cook until deep golden on bottom, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle top of bread slices with sugar, using 2 tablespoons for each skillet; turn slices over and cook until deep golden on bottom, about 3 minutes. Transfer French toast to plates. Place 1 apple half alongside each serving. Drizzle French toast with some of syrup from apples and serve.
  4. *Brown star-shaped seedpods sold at Asian markets and specialty foods stores and in the spice section of some supermarkets.
