Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon Cognac

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Brush four 6-ounce ramekins with 1/2 tablespoon melted butter, and sprinkle with the granulated sugar to coat.
  • In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with 4 tablespoons melted butter. Add remaining ingredients to apples, and toss. Divide a third of the breadcrumbs among the ramekins. Arrange half the apples over breadcrumbs, and add another third of the crumbs. Repeat with the rest of the apples and breadcrumbs. Press the mixture firmly into the ramekins.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees. Continue baking until tops are golden brown and apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven; cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around sides of ramekins, and turn apple betty out onto dessert plates.

Tips:

  • Use firm, tart apples for the best flavor and texture. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are good choices.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly and evenly so they will cook evenly.
  • Use a mixture of brown sugar and granulated sugar for a richer flavor.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the sugar mixture to help balance the sweetness.
  • Use a combination of butter and flour to create a thick, flavorful streusel topping.
  • Bake the Brown Betty until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Apple Slice Brown Betty is a classic American dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of sweet, tart apples, crunchy streusel topping, and creamy vanilla ice cream, it's the perfect way to end a meal.
