Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Butter a casserole.
Gather your mise en place, including a large bowl with a lid, an apple peeler, and a food processor.
Peel, core and cut the apples up.
Break up the raisin bread and up it into the bowl of a food processor. Process it until it has turned into large crumbs. Don't over-process.
Put the crumbs, apples, brown sugar and spices into a large bowl with a lid.
Melt the butter and pour it over the mixture. Put the lid on and shake, shake, shake to make sure that all the ingredients are well mixed. If you don't have a bowl with a lid, make sure the bowl is quite deep and mix with your hands.
Put the mixture into the casserole and dot it with butter.
Cover the casserole with foil and bake it with the foil on for an hour. Remove the foil and let it continue to cook until the apples are soft and the top has browned a bit.
Remove it from the oven and let it sit to cool a while before eating it. Great with ice cream!
Notes
If you don't have a food processor, you can break the bread up with your fingers. Children are very good at this task.If you cannot find Armenian Raisin bread, use Panetonne or brioche. Don't use regular raisin bread.
