1 lb Golden Delicious apples (2 medium), peeled, halved lengthwise, cored, and thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
3 cups half-and-half
6 large eggs

Instructions

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375 °F.
Arrange bread in 1 layer on a large (17- by 13-inch) baking sheet and toast until pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes, then cool on baking sheet. Leave oven on.
Meanwhile, toss apples with 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl until coated. Cook in a dry 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, swirling skillet and turning slices over occasionally, until tender and pale golden, about 15 minutes.
