- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- ¼ cup butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Procedure
[edit | edit source]- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Sauté bread crumbs in butter.
- Add apples, cinnamon, sugar, and water.
- If the skillet is oven-proof, cover and place in the oven. If the skillet is not oven-proof, transfer to a greased casserole dish.
- Cover and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until apples are tender.
- If mixture becomes too dry during baking, add another ¼ cup of water. (Apples vary as to moisture content.)
