Apple Croûtes

Apple Croûtes

Choose the well ripe apples, the best are the red ones. Pare the apples, cut them into halves, and core those apples into quarts. Cut as many small pieces of bread, as there are pieces of apple, or you may use the stale bread crumbs. Put  a piece of apple on each piece of bread- arrange this in layers. Arrange this cake in a slightly buttered glass baking pan, and pour a cup of milk over the cake- to wet it slightly. Dust this Charlotte cake thickly with powdered sugar, and sprinkle very lightly with the cinnamon. Bake the croutes  in a moderate oven for thirty to forty- five minutes.Arrange on a  festive dish. Sprinkle the Charlotte cake with powdered sugar, serve hot or cold .
