Description
This apple brown betty is an easy, old-fashioned dessert with gooey baked apples layered with a buttery, sweet cinnamon crumble.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups of peeled and sliced apples (3 – 4 medium apples, I prefer Honey Crisp or Granny Smith)
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup cold butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9×9 baking dish (or a deep dish pie plate) with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the apple slices and orange juice, stirring to coat. Set aside.
- In your food processor (or blender), combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse in the butter a few cubes at a time to combine. Repeat with the remaining butter until the mixture is coarse crumbs and no large pieces of butter remain.
- Spread half of the apples evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top the apples with half of the crumb mixture. Repeat with the remaining apples and crumb.
- Bake for 40 – 45 minutes until the top is crisp and golden and the apples are tender.
- Allow this to cool for 10 minutes and then serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or a 350°F oven.
