2 loaves (20 ounces each) white bread with crusts, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 32 cups)
2 cups butter, melted
40 cups (about 12 pounds) sliced peeled apples
3 cups packed brown sugar, divided
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 cups water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Toss bread cubes with butter; divide half of the cubes among four greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Arrange apples over bread, using 10 cups per pan. Mix 2 cups of brown sugar, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon; divide into fourths and sprinkle over the apples. Mix water and lemon juice; pour a fourth into each pan. Top with remaining bread cubes. Sprinkle remaining brown sugar equally over pans. Cover and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 25-30 minutes longer.

My daughter and I loved this recipe! It had just the right amount of spice. I used apple cider in place of the lemon juice. Perfect recipe for fall.
this is very good
