Apple Brown Betty

Ingredients

• 1½ to 2 sticks salted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for greasing
• 8 slices hearty wheat bread, diced
• 3 apples, preferably Granny Smith, peeled, cored and diced
• 1½ packed cups brown sugar, plus more if needed

Directions

2. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Generously butter a 9x13" rectangular baking dish.

4. End by sprinkling ½ C water all over the surface, a spoonful at a time.
5. Bake, covered in foil, until the apples are tender, about 45 minutes.
