2 tbsp. butter
1 c. soft bread crumbs
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1/4 c. warm water
2 c. pared and sliced apples
1/4 c. liquid honey
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Melt butter and stir into bread crumbs. Add lemon juice and rind to apples. (Omit lemon if apples are very tart.) Mix honey and water.

Place a layer of crumbs in a greased baking dish and cover with a layer of apples. Moisten with honey mixture and sprinkle with part of the seasonings. Repeat layers, ending with bread crumbs as top layer.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until crumbs are well-browned. Cover baking dish for the first 15 minutes. Makes 4 servings, about 1/2 cup each.
