- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- Brush the butter all over the slices of bread.
- Line the base and sides of a greased 6 inch deep cake tin (such as a Christmas cake tin or substitute a coffee can or vegetables tin, as long as it does not have ridges) with the slices of bread, making sure that they overlap.
- Spoon in the apple puree and cover with more over-lapping slices of bread.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
