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.
