How to Make Apple Betty With Almond Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Grease a 25cm x 18cm x 5cm baking dish with 25g of the butter.
  3. In a bowl, combine 300ml of water and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Peel and thinly slice 1kg of apples into the bowl.
  4. Place half of the sliced apples into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of demerara sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  6. Dot with 25g of butter and top with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  7. Add the remaining sliced apples, pressing down gently.
  8. Sprinkle with another 3 tablespoons demerara sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 25g of butter.
  9. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  10. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  11. While the betty is baking, melt the remaining 50g of butter in a small pan. Stir in 1/2 cup slivered almonds.
  12. After 35 minutes, remove the foil. Pour the almond mixture evenly over the top of the betty and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of demerara sugar.
  13. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and caramelized, and the apples are bubbling.
  14. Let cool slightly before serving warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
