I don't know if I did it wrong, but this didn't turn out like I expected. The bread cube mixture was sparce & wouldn't "spread" in the bottom of the pan, nor was there enough to "spread" on the top. It turned out burnt around the edges & with very little "betty" as compared to apples. I may try this one again & re-rate/review, but for now I didn't like it.
