Heat 1 stick of butter, brown sugar and maple syrup in a microwave safe bowl on HIGH for 2 1/2 minutes or in a pan on the stove, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted.

Spray a 9 x 13 pan and pour the syrup mixture into the pan. If desired, sprinkle with pecans.

Lay out 12 slices of bread. Spread softened butter on one slice of bread. Top it with fruit. Spread butter on a second slice of bread and use it to cover the bread with the fruit. Cut this fruit sandwich in half and place it in the pan on top of the syrup mixture. Make 5 more sandwiches and repeat. Press the sandwiches down with a flat metal spatula. Squish the bread.

Beat the eggs with the sugar and the cinnamon. Add the cream and the vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Pour the mixture over the bread in the pan.
