Mine looked NOTHING like this and crispy it was not...not sure where I went wrong since I am an experienced cook and followed all directions. Presentation and soggy bread aside, the taste was very good. -
Yum! -
I used homemade white bread and found it very delicious and crispy. Thanks for this simple recipe. Made for Market Tag. -
This is a delicious dessert served with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. I used Gala apples, and probably used more brown sugar than was necessary, but it surely did turn out scrumptiously!! Thank you, SusieQusie : )
