to make ahead, bake the bread and completely cool it. Wrap the loaf in freezer paper. Freeze for up to one month. To serve, thaw bread to room temperature. Note: if you prefer chunkier bread, feel free to dice Apple rather than shredding it. Try using chunky instead of smooth applesauce also. This is a take on my mom's apple...

  • If you don't have any stale bread, you can make your own by cutting fresh bread into cubes and spreading them out on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until the cubes are dry and golden brown.
