Here is a nice fall apple recipe. I live in Florida, so I really don't know what a season is.. but I have to go with the majority who claim this is fall. The Tipsy Apple Betty got it's origin from the fact that I have a bottle of Amaretto sitting around and I don't drink the stuff, so I've tried to add it to recipes I've made just to use it up. The Amaretto Corn Beef Hash was a disaster, but this recipe is fabulous! The topping creats a struesal cover for the tender appples, soaking up a nice cocktail of Amaretto and orange juice. The recipe is just as good without the liqueur, so if you don't have a 6 year old bottle hanging around...don't worry!

4 cups peeled and sliced granny smith apples

Oh Yummm! I made a couple of (to me) minor changes is using Frangelico in place of the Amaretto because I had the Frangelico and adding some chopped hazelnuts on top of the apples. I added the nuts to tie in the liqueur and used 3/4 cup of Splenda for the sugar. The orange juice blended beautifully. The apple slices baked perfectly in the given time, holding their shape and not going mushy while being very tender and delicious. The crust/topping shared center stage with the apples. It colored ever so lightly but had that wonderful almost melty tender quality while being crisp. The topping held together in cutting (I had to break a piece off with my fingers to get any kind of shot of what lay beneath it for the pic). Really an outstanding recipe that I'll be making again and again. Made for Photo Forum's "An Apple A Day" event.

Very tasty and so easy! I may increase the topping ingredients next time, as we like crust!

This recipe is the best Apple Betty I have ever eaten. The depth of flavors were outstanding together, and the topping was the perfect type pastry to go with this dish. It crisped up nicely too. This was a splended desert that we all enjoyed very much. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Totally delicious. I made this the other night becaue I really love apple desserts (more than chocolate). I was looking for something easy but a little different from anything I had tried before. This fit the bill. The apples baked up soft and tender and honey, the amaretto and orange juice was scrump-ump-tious!! It had a nice crunchy topping, too. Thanks Dawn. This is something I would make again.
