Apple Brown Betty Recipe
"Apple brown betty is a classic dessert dating back to colonial America. Think of it as an apple pie or cobbler with a topping of sweetened, buttered bread crumbs instead of a dough or batter topping. This version uses whole wheat bread crumbs to add to the inherent fiber in the fresh apples. It is quite easy to put together and takes only 30 minutes to bake...."
