Apple Charlotte

Here is another way to use up leftover bread in a very tasty hot apple pie.

• 4-6 slices day old bread
• 150 melted butter
• 2-3 apples
• sugar, to taste
• a metal pie mold, about 20cm diameter

Coat the bread slices in the butter. If you don't want to melt it, just spread the slices in butter. Use the bread to cover the bottom and sides of the mold.

Peel and core the apples. Place them in a pan and cook them down with some sugar to taste. You can make this as sweet or as tart as you wish. Once they are cooked, pour the apples into the pie mold, and cover them with more buttered bread slices until they are totally covered.

Press a plate on the pie mold down to compact the apples and bread.
bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden.
