Nothing says fall comfort food quite like Chicken Pot Pie and Apple Betty. Two flavors I grew up on – chicken pot pies and my Grandma’s Apple Betty.
My mom always kept Pot Pies ready in her freezer. That pie, fresh from the oven, was always comfort in a golden, flaky crust. I loved eating my own pot pie as a teenager, and now that the pot pies come in family size I can feed my whole family with one family size pie.
This weekend, the weather turned rainy and fall like, so my mom and I decided to welcome the season with a pot pie and my Grandma’s famous Apple Betty. I jumped at the opportunity to learn how to make my Grandma’s Apple Betty, and I can’t wait to share the recipe with you!
This delicious Apple Betty is the perfect paring for a family size pot pie.
The pot pie bakes for 1 hour 35 min at 375 degrees, and the Apple Betty cooks beautifully at that temperature and time frame. Just preheat the oven, and put the Apple Betty together. Once the oven preheats put both the pot pie and the Apple Betty in the oven together.
Even though I’ve been cooking for years, I still struggle with getting all the parts of my meal on the table at once. This pairing turns out perfect everytime- no worrying about one dish growing cold while waiting on the other!
Ingredients:
- 9 apples
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 slices of bread
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Wash and slice enough apples to fill a 2 quart dish, packed tightly.
Mix 1/2 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar.
Pour the sugar-water mixture over the apples in the casserole dish.
Cut 4 tablespoons of butter into small pats, and place them on top of the apples.
Sprinkle the top with 1/4 teaspoon each apple pie spice and cinnamon.
Bake the apples for 30 minutes, then baste them with the water in the dish.
After another 30 minutes, remove the apples from the oven and add 3 slices of loaf bread, torn into small pieces. Gently mix the bread into the apples.
Return the dish to the oven for another 20 minutes, or until the breading is slightly brown. 
Now, remove both the pot pie and the Apple Betty from the oven for the perfect fall meal!
