Brown Betty
Peel, core, and slice six apples.
Butter a baking-dish and sprinkle the inside all over with fine
bread-crumbs.
Then take six very thin slices of buttered bread and line the sides and
bottom of the dish.
Put a layer of apples an inch thick, a thin layer of brown sugar, six bits
of butter, and a dusting of cinnamon, another layer of crumbs, another of
apples and sugar, and so on till the dish is full, with crumbs and butter on
top, and three tablespoonfuls of molasses poured over.
Bake this one hour, and have hard sauce to eat with it.
