This Betty got a makeover, and she looks great! You'll love how easily this fun dessert comes together. The first layer is a mixture of oatmeal bread cubes, margarine, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. The other layer is comprised of apples, currants, lemon juice, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg. Alternate the layers in a baking pan, then let your Betty bake away in the oven, and your dessert is ready to serve. You and your guests will love the contrasting, flavorful layers of cinnamon-infused bread and sweet apples and currants. Feel free to mix up the fresh fruits with your favorites or whatever you have on hand.
