Directions
Coat your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Preheat your broiler. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut your bread into slices (if it isn’t already) and butter. Place under the broiler until they are toasted to your liking. (I like mine just a barely golden brown). Remove from broiler, let cool and break bread into pieces.
Cut your apples into chunks. (You can peel them or leave them with the skin on)
Put the bread in the Crock Pot and add the raisins and apples.
In a small bowl whisk the lemon juice, apple juice, honey, zest, spices, and butter. Pour over the bread evenly and make sure it is all well coated. Turn your crock pot onto low and let cook for 5-6 hours or until your apples are soft enough for you.
Turn off the crock pot when cooking is finished and let stand for 15 minutes. Serve with either whipped cream, ice cream, or my rum sauce which I will tell you how to make below.
