Brown Betty.
- 2 cups chopped apples, tart ones.
- ½ cup of sugar.
- 1 cup of bread-crumbs.
- 2 tablespoonfuls of butter.
- 1 teaspoonful of nutmeg.
Put a layer of chopped apple in the bottom of a buttered pudding-dish. Sprinkle well with sugar, stick bits of butter here and there and add a pinch or two of nutmeg. Cover with bread-crumbs, then more apple. In this order of alternation fill the dish, spreading the surface with bread-crumbs. Cover, steam nearly an hour in a moderate oven; then brown quickly.
For sauce, mix a teaspoonful of cinnamon with a cup of powdered sugar. Butter the hot “Betty” as you fill each saucer, and strew with this mixture. Or it is excellent, eaten warm, not hot, with cream and sugar.
Fourth Week. Friday.
