Apple Brown Betty Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 cups granny smith apples (from 8–10 apples)
- 1 large lemon (juiced (2–3 tb juice))
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar (packed and divided)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cold butter (cubed)
- 1 tablespoon apple pie spice blend (or pumpkin pie spice)
- 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Either grease the dish with butter or spray it thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Set out a large mixing bowl. Peel and core the apples, then slice into ¼ – ½ inch wedges. Place the apples in the large bowl, and toss with lemon juice to reduce browning. Then add ½ cup of brown sugar and ½ teaspoon of salt to the apples. Toss well to coat.
- Set out a medium mixing bowl. Combine the remaining 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 ½ cups of flour, cold butter cubes, apple pie spice, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Use a pastry blender tool (or large forks) to press the butter cubes into the flour mixture. The crumble top is ready when it looks well mixed with chunks no larger than the size of peas.
- Scoop the apples and juices into the prepared baking dish. Spread them out into a single layer. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the surface of the apples.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly and juicy.
- Serve warm, with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
