Certainly! Here’s a classic recipe for Apple Brown Betty:
Ingredients:
- 6 cups thinly sliced and peeled apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (from about 4 slices of bread)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the sliced apples and toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter with the breadcrumbs until well combined.
- Grease a baking dish (about 9×13 inches) and spread half of the breadcrumb mixture on the bottom.
- Layer half of the coated apples over the breadcrumbs in the baking dish.
- Add the remaining breadcrumb mixture over the apples.
- Top with the remaining apples, spreading them evenly.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Allow the Apple Brown Betty to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, and if desired, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Enjoy your delicious Apple Brown Betty!
