Directions:

The night before cooking, cut the bread into 1-inch slices and arrange in a 9- by 13-inch non-stick baking pan.

In a bowl, beat the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla and baking powder until blended. Pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, heat oven to 450 degrees. Remove bread to a plate. In the baking pan where the bread was soaking, mix the strawberries (thawed enough to separate), bananas, 3/4 sugar and the apple pie spice. Top with bread. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and the cinnamon.

Bake until toast is lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
