Apple Betty

Recipe from Better Homes and Garden Cookbook

When I was 12 years old I can remember making this.  I loved it so much I watched my mom one night making it so I could replicate it.  This is from the OLD cookbook.  When I first was married I bought the newer BHG cookbook and a lot of the recipes I grew up on were either gone or altered.  This was one of those recipes that they left out.

Apple Betty

4 cups pared tart apples(Granny Smith)

¼ c. orange juice

1 c. sugar

¾ c. sifted all-purpose flour

½ t. ground cinnamon

¼ t. ground nutmeg

½ c. butter

  

Mound Apples in 9-inch buttered pie plate; sprinkle with OJ.  Combine sugar, flour, spices and salt; cut in butter till mixture is crumbly; sprinkle over apples.  Bake @ 375 degrees for 45 minutes or till apples are tender and topping is crisp.  Serve with warm cream.
