APPLE
BROWN BETTY
Not
your average Betty - this one contains only
a fraction of the butter that most do.
3
tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
3 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs from a
baguette
4 large crisp apples such as Granny Smith
or Gala
1 1/4 cups water
3/4 cup nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt
Preheat
oven to 375°F.

Melt
butter in a large nonstick skillet and remove
from heat. Stir in cinnamon, salt, and 1 tablespoon
brown sugar, then stir in bread crumbs. Sprinkle
one third of crumbs over bottom of a 1-quart shallow
baking dish.
Peel
and coarsely chop 2 apples. Cook with water and
remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a 1 1/2-quart
saucepan, covered, over moderate heat, stirring
occasionally, 10 minutes. Purée chopped
apples with cooking liquid in a blender.
Peel
remaining 2 apples and cut into 1/4-inch-thick
wedges. Arrange wedges over crumbs, then pour
hot purée over wedges. Sprinkle with remaining
crumbs.
Bake
in middle of oven until top is golden brown and
apples are tender, about 40 minutes. Cool on a
rack 10 minutes and serve with frozen yogurt.
Serves
6.
Each
serving, including yogurt, about 176 calories
