Grandma's Apple Brown Betty

My kids and I thought it tasted great. Used a combo of granny smith apples and gala. They were quite large so I ended up having to add a bit more of all the ingredients. Doubled the syrup but didn't double the topping so I stuck wanting more of the topping while eating this. Think I'll just double it from now on. Great taste though.

This was delicious and simple. I used Fuji apples. Next time I think I'll try adding a some vanilla bean to help bring out the flavors. Thanks for sharing. Made for No-Nonsense Nibblers Germany/Benelux ZWT6.

Oh this was better than expected but it was too sweet so I suggest cutting down the sugar unless you like really sweet. I made this gluten free using a rice flour mix (white rice flour half the amount of tapioca starch). I used gala apples and salted butter. I used room temperature spring water which I don't think made a difference. Made for ZWT6 Germany/Benelux region, for my team, The Ya Ya Cookerhood.

This is an excellent recipe to put to use those apples God made. There are a few things that I found important in making this recipe taste good though. The apples you use can make or break this recipe. I made this recipe with granny smith apples, and it was pretty good, but nothing really special. Now, when I used Missourri galas, it was extraordinary. My mom said it was better than any apple pie she has had in restaurants. The sweetness of the MO galas really made the difference, and the granny smith's paled in comparison with their tartness. I also used Penzey's spices cinammon which is still fairly new (this is a blend of about 4 different kinds of cinammon). If you ever get ahold of that cinammon, you won't regret it. Don't forget to top each piece off with one or two scoops of vanilla ice cream. Choose a fairly normal or old fashioned vanilla ice cream that doesn't have a fakey vanilla taste like you would find in Blue Bunny for example. We actually found a decent, but cheap brand at Aldi called Sundae Shop that worked very well on top of this brown betty.

Leslie, this was amazing. I used some of the last granny smiths off of our tree (I can't believe it's June & they're still hanging on, it's freezing), they were just beautiful and zingy. The topping with the sauce is fantastic, a bit crunchy in places and squidgy in others, with lovely unctuous sauce. My DH took half of it in one serving! Thanks so much for this recipe. Made for ZWT4

For a dessert, this is total comfort food. The flavor was superb. I was hoping to have some left for my lunch today, unfortunately my family ate every bit of it last night. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!

Perfect apple dessert! Reminds me of dh's grandma's unwritten recipe. Dh loved this, as did my father in law. The syrup on top is a nice addition. I will make this many times! Thanks!
