This Vintage Recipe Is A Fall Dessert You'll Want To Make Every Year - Tasting Table

"With so many options between buckles, crumbles, crisps, cobblers, grunts, slumps, and more, a brown betty stands apart from these vintage go-tos for its unique casserole-like composition. Take, for example, the difference between a buckle and betty. Whereas a typical brown betty is made by layering fruit and buttered breadcrumbs in a dish and baking until golden brown, a buckle uses more of a coffee cake-style batter mixed with fruit."

"Apples are certainly a favorite fruit of the season, particularly when mixed with warming spices like cinnamon and sweeteners such as brown sugar. This buttery baked good will surely bring the cozy vibes to your table and plenty of vintage inspiration in every bite. There's a lot you can do with fresh fruit and bread to make a dessert that will delight, even more so with a generous scoop of ice cream."

"Tasting Table recipe developer, Jessica Morone, has put together a classic apple brown betty à la mode recipe that will be the darling of your next fall table. It effectively combines the vintage ingenuity of reusing stale slices of bread and a few tart Granny Smith apples to create a mouthwatering dish. With a minimal list of pantry staple ingredients and little effort, this dessert comes together quickly and easily for a satisfying sweet."

An apple brown betty is a casserole-like dessert made by layering fruit and buttered breadcrumbs or cubes of bread and baking until golden brown. It contrasts with a buckle, which uses a coffee cake-style batter mixed with fruit rather than layered bread. Tart apples such as Granny Smith are commonly used and paired with warming spices like cinnamon and brown sugar for sweetness. The recipe often repurposes stale bread, reducing waste while adding texture. The dessert requires minimal pantry staples and little effort, coming together quickly and easily. Serve warm, preferably with a generous scoop of ice cream for added comfort.
