Apple Brown Betty- A simple but delicious apple dessert recipe, with fresh apples, butter, brown sugar, and a crunchy graham cracker topping.
Apple Brown Betty
I just love apple season! I needed to use up some of the apples that I’ve been hoarding stockpiling, so I decided to whip up some of this tasty Apple Brown Betty. It’s a super simple recipe, great for a baker just starting out (It was one of my first recipes!). Or just if you’re in need of a warming, comforting, delicious apple dessert, but don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen just to satisfy that need!

Apple Brown Betty
Ingredients
- 6 sheets graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 3-5 large apples peeled, cored, and sliced

- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Put graham crackers in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin (or some other large, heavy object).
- In a small bowl, combine crumbs with melted margarine.
- Put half of the crumb mix in the bottom of a small casserole dish.
