A brown betty is an American dessert of fruit and bread crumbs. This version uses apples.

Ingredients

• 2 cups soft bread crumbs
• ½ cup white granulated sugar
• ¼ cup butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 cups apples, sliced (they don't need to be peeled)
• ¾ cup water

Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Sauté bread crumbs in butter.
3. Add apples, cinnamon, sugar, and water.
4. If the skillet is oven-proof, cover and place in the oven. If the skillet is not oven-proof, transfer to a greased casserole dish.
5. Cover and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until apples are tender.
6. If mixture becomes too dry during baking, add another ¼ cup of water. (Apples vary as to moisture content.)

Notes, tips, and variations

• Serve with milk or whipped cream.
• If cooking in a Dutch oven, preheat with 15 charcoal briquettes, ⅓ on the bottom, and ⅔ on the top.
