brown apple betty



i made my first brown apple betty last fall & it's something that i knew would become tradition every autumn & winter season. 

it's one of those "i don't have anything in my fridge or pantry" desserts that's so easy to throw together. after tearing/slicing apart pieces of bread (any bread works wonderfully) & slicing up some fruit (any seasonal fruit works from apples, pears, or peaches) you're not to far from a comforting dessert that's just as delicious as a traditional fruit pie or cobbler. it's so easy to make using only five ingredients! after layering the bottom of my pyrex with apple slices (i used 3 apples) i sprinkled one cup of brown sugar on top of the fruit slices. then i lay the sliced pieces of bread at the top. i add i cup of melted butter, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon, & bake in oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. 

no need to worry about making the  crust. the crunch of the bread gives this dessert a nice texture. it takes me about 20 minutes to make & its easier than pie! add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dalop of whip cream & you've got a delicious & comforting all american dessert!
