I love making this treat for friends during the peak of apple season. I plan a quick soup and bread meal, so we can get right to the dessert!—Libby Walp, Chicago, Illinois Ingredients:
3 pounds tart apples, peeled and sliced |
10 slices cinnamon-raisin bread, cubed |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter, melted |

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
whipped cream: |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
