APPLE CHARLOTTE

Cut bread into slices a quarter of an inch thick, then in inch wide strips; dip each piece in melted butter and line a baking dish with them, having the pieces meet closely together. Fill the center of the mould with apple sauce, that has been cooked in quar- ter pieces, sweetened and flavored with lemon juice. Cover the top with strips of bread dipped in the melted butter. Bake in a hot oven forty minutes. Turn carefully out on a flat dish. Serve with cream or a sauce.
