APPLE BROWN BETTY



Apple Brown Betty image

My mother made this all through my childhood. It's lighter and crunchier than a cobbler. She made her own bread crumbs by drying the bread in a low oven until crispy and running it through the food processor. They could also be broken into small pieces and cut up smaller with a knife. More simply, store-bought unseasoned bread crumbs are a fine substitution.

  • Use a good quality brandy. The brandy is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a brandy that is at least 80 proof and has a smooth, mellow flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. You can add or subtract spices to taste. Some popular additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Serve apple brandy betty warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This dessert is best enjoyed warm, so serve it as soon as it comes out of the oven. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream is the perfect finishing touch.
