OOOOh and a bard to boot. If you have red hair I'll marry you.

How about Apple Charlet (the distant cousin of Apple Charlotte).

You need apple puree, sweetened w/ sugar, made with sauteed apple slices,
butter, spices. It needs to be very thick.

Next take the crusts off of white bread slices. Butter one side. Arrange
butter-side down in a loaf pan, covering the sides, too. If you're feeling
creative, cut the bread up to make geometric shapes. But every cranny must
be covered. Pour in the apple puree. Cover with more bread butter side up.
Bake in a moderate oven until bread begins to brown. Remove and cool about
15 minutes-1/2 hour. Unmold onto plate. Squeeze with lemon juice lightly and
sprinkle with sugar. Serve with cream.

Sorry--no documentation. It's lost in the nether regions of my brain in a
file I used about 10 years ago. But it's so yummy and kid-approved, i
remembered it.


Aoife---still waiting for dinner at 9 pm.
