Apple Brown Betty

Ingredients

2 lbs Apples approx 6 medium apples (at room temperature) peeled, cored, and cut into wedges)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup light-brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For The Topping:
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and position the oven rack one level below the center. Butter a 12 by 8-inch baking dish (or medium casserole dish with a similar size), and set aside.

For The Filling:
Mix the apples with the lemon juice in a small mixing bowl. Add the flour, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and toss to evenly coat. Mix in the melted butter and vanilla.

Pour apple mixture into a prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.

For The Topping:
Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add the warm melted butter and stir to blend. Squeeze a handful of the topping into your hand, if it doesn’t clump together, add some more melted butter until it does.

Hand-squeeze small handfuls of topping together and crumble clumps evenly over top of apples.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
