Description

This New England Apple-Peach Betty is a comforting, old-fashioned dessert that brings the warmth of autumn to your table. It features a luscious blend of sweet canned peaches and classic apple pie filling, spiced with nutmeg and brightened with fresh lemon zest. The fruit mixture is baked in a deep dish until bubbling, then topped with a buttery, crumbly mixture of flour, sugar, and chopped almonds that turns golden and crisp. Served warm, often with a side of lightly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, this dish offers a perfect balance of soft, juicy fruit and crunchy texture. It is an easy, no-fuss recipe ideal for family dinners, potlucks, or cozy weekend treats, requiring minimal prep time but delivering maximum flavor and nostalgia.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425&# 194;°F (218ðC).
  2. Drain 1 (21 oz) can of sliced peaches, discarding the juice.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained peaches, 1 can of apple pie filling, 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Spread the fruit mixture evenly into a greased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate or casserole dish.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.
  6. Using a pastry blender or a large fork, cut in 1/2 cup softened margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Chop 1/2 cup of the slivered almonds and stir them into the crumb mixture. Reserve the remaining slivered almonds for garnish.
  8. Spoon the crumb mixture evenly over the fruit filling.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle the reserved slivered almonds in a ring or scattered pattern on top of the crumb topping.
  11. Return to oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes longer, until the filling is hot and the top is golden brown.
  12. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl with chilled beaters, beat 1/2 cup heavy cream at high speed just until soft peaks form.
  13. Serve the Betty warm, accompanied by the lightly whipped cream.
