Apple-Strawberry Betty Popular Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
- 6 large slices stale white bakery bread (about 6 ounces), crusts trimmed, chopped
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- Whipped cream, for serving
Steps for making Apple-Strawberry Betty
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish; set aside. Pulse the bread in a food processor until it is a mix of pea-size pieces and smaller crumbs. (You should have about 3 cups.) Spread the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through, until dried and toasted, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown flecks appear, 5 to 6 minutes. Immediately transfer to a medium bowl. Toss the apples and strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar, the cinnamon and salt in a separate large bowl. Let sit until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is juicy, about 10 minutes.
- Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Stir the breadcrumbs into the browned butter, then scatter one-third of the breadcrumbs in the bottom of the prepared dish. Top with half of the fruit mixture. Repeat with the remaining breadcrumbs and fruit, ending with a layer of breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover with foil and bake until the apples are almost tender and the filling is bubbling, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Continue baking until the top is well browned and the apples are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes. Serve with whipped cream.

- Fruit – In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering.Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world’s agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.In common language usage, “fruit” normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term “fruit” also includes many structures that are not commonly called “fruits”, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.
- Strawberry – The garden strawberry (or simply strawberry; Fragaria × ananassa) is a widely grown hybrid species of the genus Fragaria, collectively known as the strawberries, which are cultivated worldwide for their fruit. The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness. It is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in such prepared foods as jam, juice, pies, ice cream, milkshakes, and chocolates. Artificial strawberry flavorings and aromas are also widely used in products such as candy, soap, lip gloss, perfume, and many others.The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of Fragaria virginiana from eastern North America and Fragaria chiloensis, which was brought from Chile by Amédée-François Frézier in 1714. Cultivars of Fragaria × ananassa have replaced, in commercial production, the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca), which was the first strawberry species cultivated in the early 17th century.The strawberry is not, from a botanical point of view, a berry. Technically, it is an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant’s ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries. Each apparent “seed” (achene) on the outside of the fruit is actually one of the ovaries of the flower, with a seed inside it.In 2019, world production of strawberries was 9 million tonnes, led by China with 40% of the total.
- Dessert – Dessert (/dɪˈzɜːrt/) is a course that concludes a meal. The course consists of sweet foods, such as confections, and possibly a beverage such as dessert wine and liqueur. In some parts of the world, such as much of Central Africa and West Africa, and most parts of China, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal.The term dessert can apply to many confections, such as biscuits, cakes, cookies, custards, gelatins, ice creams, pastries, pies, puddings, macaroons, sweet soups, tarts and fruit salad. Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness. Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts.
