Apple And Apricot Betty
The fresh apricot season is all too brief. Fortunately this old-fashioned dessert is equally delicious when made with fresh or frozen peaches.
Ingredients
-
3 cups pound cake crumbs (about half a cake)
-
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
4 slices of peeled, cored McIntosh apples (about 1-1/2 pounds, 3 or 4 apples)
-
2 cups apricot quarters (7 or 8 apricots) OR: peach slices
-
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
-
1/2 cup sliced almonds
-
2 tablespoons grated orange rind
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Directions
1.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2.
Mix crumbs, melted butter and salt. Sprinkle 1/2 cup in 2-1/2-quart shallow baking dish. (Deeper dish needs more baking time.)

4.
