“Brown Betty.”
1 cup bread-crumbs.
2 cups chopped tart apples.
½ cup of sugar.
1 teaspoonful of cinnamon.
2 tablespoonfuls of butter.
Put a layer of chopped apple in a buttered pudding-dish; strew with sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Cover with bread-crumbs; then more apple. When your dish is full, cover with crumbs. Invert a tin plate over it, and “steam” forty-five minutes in a good oven. Then, uncover and brown. Eat warm, with sugar and butter, or cream.
