The night before cooking, cut the bread into 1-in. slices and arrange in a 9 x 13-in. nonstick baking pan.

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

The next morning, heat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove bread to a plate. In the same pan, mix the strawberries (defrosted enough to separate), bananas, 3/4 c. sugar and the apple pie spice. Top with bread. Sprinkle with the remaining Tbsp. of sugar and the cinnamon.

Bake until toast is lightly browned, about 20 mins..

Serve hot, topped with the fruit sauce.

NOTE: If desired, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, and a dash of salt may be substituted for the apple pie spice.
