Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 apples, Granny Smith or Braeburn, peeled and cored
3 lemons, zested and juiced
3 lemons, zested and juiced
1 1/2 cups unseasoned bread crumbs
1 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 additional tablespoon for greasing the baking dish
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the center of the oven.
  • Place the apples on a flat surface, cut them in half, and then into thin slices. Put them in a medium bowl and coat them with a light layer of zest from 1 of the lemons and all of the lemon juice.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the butter and bread crumbs. Season with salt. Set aside.
  • In a third bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. Mix to blend and add the apple slices.
  • Grease each baking dish with the remaining butter. Layer the bottom with the apples and cover with the bread crumb mixture.
  • Cover the dishes tightly with aluminum foil and place in the center of the oven. Bake until the apples are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil, raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake until the top browns. Serve immediately.
