7 (1 cm (1/2 in) slices white bread

method
1. Remove the crusts from the bread and use two slices to make breadcrumbs. Butter the remaining slices and use to line a 1.15 litre (2 pint) ovenproof dish (buttered sides against the dish), cutting them to fit.
Peel, core and chop the apples.
2. Mix with the apricot pie filling and spoon into the lined dish. Mix together the breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
3. Dot a knob of butter over the top and bake in a moderate oven for 50-60 minutes. Serve hot with custard or fresh cream.
Instead of using the apricot pie filling, double the quantity of apples and add 50 g (2 oz) raisins to make a simple apple charlotte.
