I love fall! My friend Kristin said she's come to realize she loves the first part of every new season. I'd have to completely agree! I do love every season and the fresh start it brings. (Although, I love all of summer!) I love the cooler, crisp air of fall. I love the smells associated with fall -- cinnamon and apples in particular.
I stumbled upon this recipe last week and decided I just had to make it. The twins and I went to a local store that was having apples on sale for 77 cents/lb and I loaded up.
Apple Betty4 cups thinly sliced apples (peeled if you want, I didn't bother)
1/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash each cloves and allspice
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie plate.
Mound sliced apples in the pie plate. Sprinkle with orange juice.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugars, spices, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Scatter over the apples.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Serve warm.
Rylee was so cute because we have an "Auntie Betty" at GFA. She kept talking about Auntie Betty as we were getting the dessert ready and then enjoying it's sweet goodness. My kids love Auntie Betty and they loved thinking about her as we were enjoying the ooey-gooey apples and topping with ice cream.
