- Use a variety of spices: A combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger is a classic choice for apple brown betty, but you can also add other spices like cardamom, cloves, or allspice.
- Soak the bread cubes in butter: This will help them to brown and add a richer flavor to the dish.

- Serve the apple brown betty warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This will make it even more delicious!
