1/2 cup of melted butter. The juice of one lemon or orange. 1 quart of bread crumbs (centre of loaf). Enough water to make half a cup with the fruit juice. Nearly one quart of sliced apples (pared and cored). Sugar. Grating of lemon or orange rind.

Put the crumbs moistened with butter into a baking dish in layers alternately with the apple, making the last layer of crumbs, and sprinkle each layer of apple with the fruit juice, water, and sugar. Bake about an hour. Let the dish be covered during the first part of the baking. Occasionally substitute sliced rhubarb for the apple. A few stoned raisins will improve the latter dish.
