Instructions
For the Apple Brown Betty
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (177 °C)
- 1 1/2 pounds ApplesPeel the apples and reserve the peels. Core and chop up the apples into 1-inch pieces. Put the apples into a large bowl.

- 1 tablespoon unsalted butterPut the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with the reserved crumbs. Dot with the remaining butter, which was cut up into small pieces.
- Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until the apples have softened. Remove from the oven.

Notes
If you can’t find good Armenian Raisin bread, then use Panettone, and soak some extra raisins in a little water with a tiny bit of cardamom. A good, buttery egg bread would make a good substitute, too.
You could also make this Betty in a Nesco oven, leaving your regular oven available for other dishes. Yeah, Nesco!
