CRANBERRY APPLE HOLIDAY FRENCH TOAST



Cranberry Apple Holiday French Toast image

This recipe was given to me by a co-worker several years ago, but I just found and tried it for the first time, and was amazed with the flavor! It's a great Christmas morning dish, or an easy day-after-Thanksgiving breakfast for guests. The Splenda and egg substitute make for a bit health-friendlier breakfast, too.
