Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole ripe peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
- 0.5 cups sugar
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 cups day-old bread (cubed into small pieces)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt. Toss until the peaches are well coated. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the cubed bread with melted butter and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to ensure the bread is evenly coated with the butter mixture.
Spread half of the buttered bread cubes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer the seasoned peach mixture evenly over the bread cubes.
Top with the remaining bread cubes, spreading them out evenly to cover the peaches.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow the Brown Betty to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
