Apple-Pumpkin Brown Betty
Ingredients
- 1 2-to-3-pound sugar pumpkin
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup cubed bread (preferably from a baguette)
- 2 Gala apples, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup golden raisins- She used raisins
- 1 tablespoon rum (optional) She used pineapple rum
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Kosher salt
- Maple syrup, for drizzling
- 4 to 6 servings
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Slice off and reserve the top 1 1/2 inches of the pumpkin. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the apples, brown sugar, and raisins to the skillet and cook until the apples are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the rum, vanilla, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Return the bread to the skillet.
Put the pumpkin in a small baking dish and fill the pumpkin with the apple mixture. Cover with the pumpkin top and add 1 inch of boiling water to the baking dish. Cover loosely with foil and bake until the pumpkin is tender, 2 hours to 2 hours, 30 minutes. Remove the foil and pumpkin top and return the stuffed pumpkin to the oven. Bake until the filling is lightly browned, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle with maple syrup. To serve, scrape the pumpkin flesh and stir into the apple mixture.
