Apple Brown Betty

Ingredients:

• 4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• 4 slices light whole-wheat or multi-grain bread, lightly toasted
• 2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tsp unsalted butter/margarine
• 1/3 cup water

1. 
   
   Preheat the oven to 375; spray a 1 1/2 quart shallow casserole dish with nonstick spray. Place half of the apples in the casserole dish.
   
2. 
   
   In a food processor or blender, pulse the toast to coarse crumbs. Transfer to a small bowl; combine with the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkles half the mixture over the apples, then layer the remaining apples and crumb mixture. Dot with butter; add the water. Bake until the top is crisp and the fruit is bubbling, about 45 minutes.
   
   
   

WW Points Value: 3 (1/4 of pudding)

 

Note: I really love this recipe. It's a time consuming recipe to cook but it's worth it. This recipe appears in the WW The new complete cookbook. I added the nutmeg for more flavor. A Betty is a traditional baked pudding of layered spiced fruit and bread that dates back to Colonial America. I highly recommend using a variety of apples for this recipe but always make sure to use 2 Granny Smith apples for more taste.
