Servings: 6

8 to 9 pieces white or egg bread
4 tbsp butter
3 apples, preferably golden delicious
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup to 1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp grated lemon rind
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup toasted walnuts (optional)

Spread bread with butter and toast both sides under a broiler. Cut bread into chunks.

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker except walnuts. The amount of sugar should be determined by tartness of apples.

Set slow cooker on low and allow to cook for 5 to 6 hours. If possible, gently stir halfway through cooking process.

If desired, stir in toasted walnuts just before serving.
