Toffee Apple Pain Perdu image

From Gourmet Traveller magazine. The recipe calls from a French style raisin bread which is more like a brioche with raisins. However, you can use any type of raisin bread perferably thick sliced or better still unsliced so you can cut 3-4cm slices. Make sure the bread is at least 2 days old not fresh.
