This is an authentic old-fashioned dessert – apples layered with fresh bread crumbs and lemon. It's absolutely heavenly with warm Rum-Spiked Pouring Custard or vanilla ice cream. To make fresh crumbs, trim crusts, tear bread into chunks and chop in food processor until medium-fine and about the size of long-grain rice.
