Apple Brown Betty

A couple of days ago, a friend of the family arrived with a whole basket full of lovely apples from her garden. That evening we had relatively unannounced guests for dinner, so while my mom was whipping up the pork loin and brussel sprouts, I was making a quick and easy Apple Brown Betty. For those of you people who don't know what I am talking about, apple brown Betty, is nothing more than apples baked in a casserole dish with some delicious oats on top. Its similar to a cobbler or crisp, but I find it much more delicious and its easier to make.

Here's how it goes.
For about 6 servings, you will need:
6-7 Apples (Really, the quality of the apples make the dish. Use some that are crisp and tart to the taste)
1 cup of cracked oats
3 Tbl spoons of brown sugar
1/4 Cup Flour
1 Tbl spoon Cinnamon
1/2 Stick of Butter (unsalted)

Peel, core and cut 3 of the apples. Only core and cut the other three apples and put them all into a relatively deep casserole dish. I do this, because the peel of the apples add a nice tartness to the whole shabang. In a bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, flour and cinnamon and then sprinkle on the apples. Melt the butter and pour on the Apples. Bake the whole thing at 350 degrees Farenheit or 180 degrees Celsius for about 45 minutes.
Serve warm with either vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or just pure.
