Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the apples and brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.
Make the custard: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Soak the bread: Dip each slice of brioche into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let the bread soak for about 30 seconds per side.
Cook the Pain Perdu: Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Top the Pain Perdu with the caramelized apples. Serve immediately. A dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup is optional.
