Preparation:

How to Prepare Apple Brown Betty: Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter a shallow 6- x 9-inch rectangular baking dish with 2 tablespoons of softened butter. In a small bowl, combine the crumbs, brown and white sugar and spices. Toss the apples with the lemon juice. Scatter 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Top with 1/2 the fruit and scatter 1/4 cup of the crumbs over. Top with the remaining fruit and crumbs and dot with the 3 tablespoons of chilled butter. Bake until the crumbs are browned and fruit is bubbly and tender, about 35 minutes. How to Prepare Brown Sugar Whipped Cream: Add the chilled cream, sugar and vanilla to a chilled bowl and whip to soft peaks.
