9 slice firm textured white bread.
3 Tbsp real butter (i use tillamook brand salted)
3 medium golden delicious apples, peeled, cored,& thinly sliced
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c dried tart red cherries
6 eggs, beaten
3 c milk
1/2 c sugar

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350* Lightly butter one side of the bread slices, cut bread into quarters. Arrange 1/2 of the bread pieces buttered side down in an ungreased 3 quart rectangular baking dish. In a large bowl toss together apples & lemon juice. Sprinkle apples and dried cherries on top of the bread in baking dish. Top with remaining bread, butter side up.
2. In a large bowl stir together eggs, milk, & sugar. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread in baking dish. Press mixture down slightly with the back of a large spoon. This is to make sure all the bread gets moistened.
3. Bake uncovered at 350* in oven for 45 - 50 minutes or until set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on top if wanted. Or cool whip works out just as well.
