Grandma Solberg's Apple Brown Betty

Submitted by AngiC

"I'm gradually entering the recipes from my Grandma that I have. Although I don't eat wheat, I'm still posting the ones that contain wheat as they were written by her. Over time, I'll try to come up with wheat-free varieties. This one is easy - I just omit the flour or use oat flour (I buy it in bulk from Bob's Red Mill). I used to help Grandma pick up the apples that fell off the neighbor's tree to make this and painstakingly peel one apple for every 5 that she flawlessly peeled!"
