Apple French Bread Bake

This is a recipe i received from my french teacher at school. It didn't specify a certain type of apple so i used granny smith because i prefer sour, but i suppose it would work with whatever is your preference. I used light cream cheese, i didn't add the walnuts, and i was also able to coat all the bread cubes with just 4 tbsp of butter instead of six, but i'm just putting the recipe on here as it is. I hope you enjoy this as much as i did!!

Steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut bread into 3 / 4 inch cubes.
Place 6 tbsp butter into bottom of a large baking pan.
Melt in oven.
Add bread cubes and toss to coat evenly.
Bake bread until crisp and slightly browned , stirring occasionally.
Remove bread from oven and raise temp to 400 degrees.
Simmer brown sugar , water , and cinnamon in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved and it is syrupy.
Add 2 tbsp butter to mixture while hot and stir until melted.
Peel and core apples and cut into a small dice.
Combine apples , bread cubes , cream cheese cubes , and walnuts.
Pour syrup over all and toss to coat.
Butter a 9x13 inch dish well.
Pour mixture into buttered dish and spread evenly.
Bake in 400 degree oven for 40 minutes.
If browning too quickly , loosely cover with aluminum foil.
Serve warm topped with whipped cream or ice cream !.
