Healthier Apple Brown Betty!

Ingredients

• 5 large apples (about 2 lbs), peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 cup apple cider
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 1/4 cups whole grain bread crumbs
• 3 tbsp chopped walnuts

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
2. Combine the apples, apple cider, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar, the vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. 
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still retain their shape, about 10 minutes. 
4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the butter until melted, remove from the heat, and transfer the apple mixture to a 9-inch pie plate or a ceramic dish.
5. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave for 20 seconds. 
6. Toss the crumbs with the melted butter, walnuts, remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. 
7. Scatter the crumb mixture on top of the apples and bake for 30 minutes, until the topping is crisped and lightly browned.
