Combine butter and bread crumbs, toss until well blended, then set aside. Prepare the apples, then toss with sugar, cinnamon, lemon rind and juice. Layer the apples and crumbs in a buttered baking dish, beginning and ending with crumbs. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350 F. for one half hour; remove foil and continue baking another ten minutes or until the crumb topping is crisp and brown. Serve hot with cream.
