Tasty Tuesday: Apple Betty

I have been eating an apple a day.

They are so sweet and Emma loves them.
I went to the store last week with Jeff and got a bunch more apples.
I asked him to get a dozen or so and he said to me, "Someone has to eat all these apples before they go bad."
I said, "I will make Apple Betty!"
He got a huge smile on his face and he started to daydream about the sweet warm yummi-ness of Apple Betty.
Okay, he didn't really stand there and day dream, but the smile said enough and he was okay with me buying a dozen more apples.

To most of you it might be called, Apple Crisp.
But in my house growing up it was Apple Betty.
It is way better than Apple Crisp. Isn't it Elizabeth?
I always double this recipe.
So yummy and perfect for a cool fall day.

So today's recipe is:

Apple Betty

Preheat oven: 350

4 Apples (any kind you like, I like sweet)

1/4 Orange juice

3/4 cup margarine (or butter, I guess? I never tried it with butter.)

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup flour

1/2 quick oats

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 pumpkin spice (trust me) if you don't have this use nutmeg

dash of salt

Peel and thinly slice apples. Mound in casserole dish and pour Orange juice over the apples. Mix well. (it keeps the apples from turning brown)

Combine: margarine, flour, sugar, quick oats, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin spice in a medium bowl. Mix with hand mixer until crumbly.

Sprinkle crumbles over Apples.

Bake 45 minutes.

It is the best with Breyers Vanilla Bean Ice cream.

Enjoy.

I also use this recipe with canned peaches for my version of Peach Cobbler.

The only difference is 2 large cans of canned sliced peaches, no orange juice or spices, and I add chopped walnuts.

And I always double it, too!
