hi hot devil,
this is a pretty easy recipe with minimal prep. that will taste great. good luck if you use it
Apple Betty
A style of baked fruit dessert, having alternating layers of buttered bread crumbs and spiced, sweetened fruit. Apples are by far and away the most common fruit used. You will often see it called "Apple Brown Betty" ("brown" coming from the brown sugar used).
Some people make their topping out of flour and butter instead of breadcrumbs and call it a Betty, but what they actually have made is a crumble. Not that I mind; if it's on the table and I didn't have to cook it, they can call it anything they want.
History
Betty was very popular in England and Colonial America, as it could be made in the rudimentary ovens and pots the colonialists still had.
Apple Brown Betty
Serves 6
To perk up the flavor of bland apples, add lemon juice and grated lemon rind to the fruit. Better yet, of course, use the ripest, most flavorful apples and forget the citrus.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
6 tablespoons butter
2 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 1/2 pounds tart apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Juice and grated rind of 1/2 lemon (optional)
Heavy cream
RECIPE METHOD
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch baking dish or a 1 1/2-quart casserole (preferably with a lid) with 1 tablespoon butter.
Melt remaining 5 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and toss to coat. Spread about 1/3 of the crumb mixture in the baking dish.
Combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice and rind (if needed) in a medium bowl. In the baking dish, fan out half the apple mixture over crumbs. Add another layer of crumbs, a layer of apples, and a final layer of crumbs.
Drizzle 1 cup hot water evenly over crumbs. Cover baking dish with lid or foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 minutes more. Serve topped with heavy cream.
THE GRUNT, THE SLUMP, AND THE BETTY: Now, pay attention because we're only going to say this once: A betty is the same thing as a crisp. A cobbler--sometimes known as a bird's-nest pudding in New England--is similar, but has a crust on top. A grunt is an old Colonial dish of berries covered with dough and steamed. Sometimes the names grunt and slump are used interchangeably, but a slump is often made with apples, with bits of dough baked on top. Where did these names come from? No one really knows.

The origin of Key Lime Pie
The first Key Lime Pie was created in the 1850's. There were very few cows on the Keys of Florida in those days. The advent of sweetened condensed milk in 1856 was a real boon to the residents of the Keys. It was a natural reaction to combine the new product with the limes into a pie. The original pies had a pastry crust, of course, but the graham cracker crust dates back at least to 1949. Beware those pies tinted green. They are most likely not the real thing.
That being said you could probably make a keylime pie. I found the information at the site listed below.

This is from 1860.
According to local history, the famous Bakewell pudding was first made accidentally in the 1860's at the White Horse Inn in Bakewell, Derbyshire. The story goes that Mrs. Greaves, the landlady, asked an inexperienced kitchen assistant to make a strawberry tart. The assistant, however, made a non sweet pastry, leaving out the eggs and sugar by mistake. Instead the eggs and sugar were used to make a filling for the plain pastry case, with the strawberry jam spread on the bottom. Apparently an extra secret ingredient was also added.
It is a contention of local history that the secret recipe for the Bakewell Pudding was left by Mrs. Greaves in her will to a Mr. Radford. In turn Mr. Radford passed the recipe on to Mr. Bloomer. There is still a Bloomers Shop in Bakewell that makes and sells Bakewell Puddings
Ingredients
shortcrust pastry made from 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 tablespoons fat/shortening
raspberry or strawberry jam
1/4 cup organic butter
4 tablespoons sugar
3 organic, free range egg yolks
1 organic, free range egg white
almond essence
2 tablespoons ground almonds
