Ingredients:  
1 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus more for baking dish
4 Tbsp. brown sugar
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into small wedges
1 lemon, juiced
3/4 C. packed light brown sugar
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch ground nutmeg
Pinch salt
1/4 C. apple brandy (recommended: Calvados) or apple juice, plus more if needed

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and sugar a baking dish and reserve the remaining sugar. In a large mixing bowl combine apple wedges, lemon juice, brown sugar, spices, salt and apple brandy. Toss to combine evenly. In a separate mixing bowl add bread cubes, pour in the melted butter and toss to coat evenly. Layer bread cubes in the bottom of the baking dish followed by apples and repeat this so you have 2 layers of each. Press gently on top of the fillings to compact slightly. Pour any remaining liquid over the apples and bread cubes. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and bake in the oven (covered for half of the cooking time) for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Serve topped with a scoop of ice cream.
