Apple Brown Betty Recipe
I don’t know how this recipe got its name, but it has been around for a long time. It’s similar to an apple crisp but instead this recipe uses fresh bread crumbs and the crumbs are layered in with the apples. It’s that time of year with Apple Festivals and apple picking so I thought this recipe might come in handy.
