Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In the bowl of a food processor, process bread until coarse crumbs. Transfer to a large baking sheet and spread in even layer. Toast until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a bowl and mix with melted butter, grahams and granulated sugar.
2 Slices Bread, 6 Tablespoons Melted Butter, 1 Tablespoon Sugar, 1 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
In a large bowl, toss the apples with the apple juice, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and butter. Add to a skillet over medium heat and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring often.
4 Cups Apples, 1/4 Cup Apple Juice, 1/2 Cup Sugar, 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg, 6 Tablespoons Butter
Remove half of the apples to a blender with any liquid from the pan. Pulse until you've made a chunky applesauce. Add back with the remaining apples.
Mound 1/2 the apples in a 8" baking pan.
Sprinkle half of the crumbs over the apples.
Top with more apples, then sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top. Cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and brown for a few minutes.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Honeycrisp, jonathan, or rave apples are our favorites. Or use a combination of apples like sweet tango and granny smith.
