Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs baking apples
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • French bread
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup seedless raisin

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel, core, and cut apples into large dice. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large, heavy skillet. Add apples, sprinkling with 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon. Saute over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

    Remove crusts from bread and cut into 1/2 to 3/4-inch cubes. Liberally grease a deep, 2 1/2 quart, baking dish with the remaining 1/4 cup butter, then add what is left to the bread cubes, cutting into bits. Combine bread, raising, apples, and the pan juices into the baking dish.
