This is a very easy recipe that isn't too sweet.





1/4 cup butter


1 1/2 cups Zwieback crumbs or other fine bread crumbs. (Zwieback is the weird toast stuff that we feed babies. I find that any bread crumbs will do, I have also tossed in some graham crack crumbs mixed with regular bread crumbs.)


2 cups apple sauce.





Melt butter in sillet, add brad crumbs and saute until nicely brown, stirring constantly





Layer brad crumbs and apple sauce in buttered baking dish (a small pie pan works great). Three layers of bread crumbs and two layers of apple sauce. Layer 1, 3 and 5, bread crumbs, 2 and 4 are apple sauce.





Bake at 350 for 30 min. Cool and unmold. This makes 4 servings.





Garnish with whipped cream or powdered sugar. This is really good with just reddy whip or cool whip. If you really want to be traditional you can also serve this with a swedish vanilla sauce. here is the recipe for that.
