Ingredients for Annie Brown

  • Fresh Breadcrumbs
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Cooking Apples
  • Brown Sugar
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Lemon
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

How to Make Annie Brown

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix gently until breadcrumbs are evenly moistened.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
  4. Grease a 40-ounce pudding basin or casserole dish. Add a thin layer of the breadcrumb mixture to the bottom.
  5. Top with a layer of the apple mixture, followed by another layer of breadcrumbs, then another layer of apples, and finally, a top layer of breadcrumbs.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes covered. Remove the foil and bake for another 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
