How to Make Apple Betty With Almond Crisp
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease a 25cm x 18cm x 5cm baking dish with 25g of the butter.
- In a bowl, combine 300ml of water and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Peel and thinly slice 1kg of apples into the bowl.
- Place half of the sliced apples into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of demerara sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Dot with 25g of butter and top with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
- Add the remaining sliced apples, pressing down gently.
- Sprinkle with another 3 tablespoons demerara sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 25g of butter.
- Top with the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- While the betty is baking, melt the remaining 50g of butter in a small pan. Stir in 1/2 cup slivered almonds.
- 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.
- 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.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
