APPLE BROWN BETTY

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.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 apples, Granny Smith or Braeburn, peeled and cored
3 lemons, zested and juiced
1 1/2 cups unseasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmet
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the center of the oven.
  • Place the apples on a flat surface, cut them in half, and then into thin slices. Put them in a medium bowl and coat them with a light layer of zest from 1 of the lemons and all of the lemon juice.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the butter and bread crumbs. Season with salt. Set aside.
  • In a third bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. Mix to blend and add the apple slices.
  • Grease each baking dish with the remaining butter. Layer the bottom with the apples and cover with the bread crumb mixture.
  • Cover the dishes tightly with aluminum foil and place in the center of the oven. Bake until the apples are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil, raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake until the top browns. Serve immediately.

Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 ⅓ cups shortening
2 egg yolks, beaten
½ cup milk
10 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan or cookie sheet.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the salt and 4 cups flour. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use a fork to stir in the egg yolks and milk just until dough comes together. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness or until big enough to cover the bottom of the jellyroll pan with a little hanging over the sides.
  • Arrange the slices of apple to evenly cover the bottom crust. In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of flour with the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apple slices. Roll out the remaining dough to cover the apple layer and pinch to seal to the bottom crust. Trim off excess crust and brush with egg white.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until apples are tender and crust is brown. If the crust begins to brown too much before the apples are done, cover with foil and continue baking. Cool before cutting into squares.
