Apple Brown Betty

• 5 cups cut apples, I used the Gala, but any baking apple works, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, to name some

• Juice of one lemon   

• 1 cup flour - any flour will work

• ¾ cup monk fruit sugar substitute

• 1 ½ tsp Cinnamon

• ¼ tsp nutmeg

• ¼ tsp clove

• ½ tsp salt - note: if you use a baking mix, which would work, don't add salt

• ½ cup cold butter

• honey

TOOLS

• 1 9” pie pan or a 9 X 9 baking square

• Measuring spoons

• Measuring cups

• Pastry cutter

• 1 large mixing bowl

PREPARATION

• Preheat oven to 350*

• Cover the bottom of the baking pan with butter

• Peel and cut apples into uniform pieces and place in mixing bowl

• Squeeze the juice of one lemon over them.  

• My apples were not very sweet so I lightly dusted them with cinnamon and drizzled a thin line of honey over them

• Pour the apples into the baking dish and set aside

• Measure out all the dry ingredients into the empty bowl.  

• Cut the ½ cup (1 cube) of butter into large pats and add them to the dry ingredients

• With a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it looks like pebbles.  You want the fat to coat the flour and sugar.

• Spread the sugar mixture over the apples 

• Bake for 30 - 40 minutes until lightly browned.

• Serve it with whipped cream, ice cream, or just by itself.
