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.
