Golden Brown Betty

My sweetie loves apples...pie, crisps, or just baked in the oven. I decided on this recipe when I tasted the General Mills Golden Grahams.

I knew a typical Brown Betty used bread, so I decided it would be even better using the Golden Grahams. And I was so right. It was so tender on the inside with a beautiful texture that you would not get with bread. And the topping was crispy and inviting. I did not, but this would be so good sitting outside with someone churning some good old fashioned vanilla ice cream to top it with. I hope you try General Mills' new revamped cereals. I have already bought more for future baking.

Adapted from Ree Drummond's Apple Brown Betty recipe

1/2 stick of softened butter for greasing your pan

4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
4 Fuji Apples, peeled, cored and chopped
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons of cinnamon
3 cups of General Mills Golden Grahams, broken into rough pieces
1 1/2 cup of General Mills Golden Grahams, whole for topping

2 sticks of room temperature butter cut into slices

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease a 13 x 9 pan generously with butter.

Place your apples into a bowl and add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix them well. You want them to form a little liquid. This will only take a few moments.

In your pan, place a layer of the apple mixture and top with some of the Golden Grahams that you have broken up. You will continue layering until you end with apples on top. Top them with the whole Golden Grahams. Dot with your sliced butter. Bake, covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook for 20 more minutes, until the Golden Grahams are crisp.

I hope you enjoy this.
